Yes . it’s a true “scandalo” for many reasons. Berlusconi understand that if you manage television you can manage everything. As the political scientist Giovanni Sartori claimed in his last book , In italy there is a weak democracy , it’s a formal-democracy Since the premier berlusconi also manage 3 tv channel (and can influence nomination of other channel ), he is also president of soccer team milan, and is able to influence some press . In a word he “privatizated ” the state , and easily can use his populistic politic for influence the mass. In this way not only he can decide How to talk but also the Topic. italian Media didn’t pay much attention about mills-corruption case . As ironically reported financial times , berlusconi is not like mussolini , since his fascism is not made by “camice nere “(soldiers)but is made by show girls. yea and indeed many show girls (like mara carfagna ) become minister. that’s a real weak for italian democracy

This time next year, Mr. Berlusconi will be running the country, still banging 18 year olds while his ex-wife lives quietly banging 18 year old pool boys. After all, no politicians quit, retired or were thrown out of office in France when their big, well-publicized gang bang involving women of all ages was made public. In fact, the papers reported that the only thing that had the entire French population confused is why it was even made public.

Ahhhhh freedom. Don’t more Americans wish we actually had some? Wait…they’re too busy trying to deny a Depression, chasing thousands of homeless families out of empty lots and parks and making them exist in sewer systems so as not to terrify other American people into thinking there just might be a Depression and America is NOT free. Or maybe they’ll be trying to block out the knowledge that there actually ARE photos of American soldiers raping children and having a ball torturing people because it’s fun.

Or maybe they won’t hear anything, now that newspapers are shutting down and their tv’s and radios were repossessed when they were thrown out of the houses they were in…..

No telling, really.
