The fil rouge of their 30.000 words printed every day and read by millions of people can be understood only considering a series of constructional facets of the discourse, its inferential valence and conceptual interfaces.
The rhetorical figures, as well as the various kinds of sentences, the lexical configurations and the idiomatic expressions are described in the light of the Critical Discourse Analysis and in that of the Cognitive Linguistics.
