emmanuel agreed re the press - eg la Repubblica and L'espresso...
But what is also quite Italian does seem to be the inertia about actually doing something about it... Bella Figura being more important than Mani Pullite...
And Italian TV really really really does suck.

spanish tv is worse!not had a tv for about 12years though.started when I was in italy.was back in london about 2ys ago and tbh made my mind up that most tv is crap,besides,most ofthe stuff we're all seeing is american.
having said that,I agree about the tv.but B created it,mediaset started showing crap about 25-30ys ago,naturally the worse the programming the higher the ratings.Rai took up the crapness/audience challenge.
he finished the job off when he became pm.
he's also silenced wikipedia,you can't access it from italy anymore.He's got an enormous media machine in place.the left has disintegrated,the catholic church plays along.so there aren't that many places an opposition can be heard,esp internationally.

ps,about doing something about it.
the judicial system has been under constant attack.laws are changed to suit B.witnesses bribed.funds cut.judges attacked in (general and personal)smear campaigns.This has been going on for years,
dell'utri was found guilty recently.but no evidence.
the mills case expires in jan,thanks to his new law,but this crisis gives him a legal excuse to avoid the summons.
so,he has resisted(pretty well,must give the man credit where it's due) all the efforts made,and they have been plenty.
look up the lodo mondadori for example.there is also the fact that there is a chunk of italy that prefers a certain chaos.makes hiding their little secrets easier.

Emmanuel. Agreed, but this is not new. Andoreotti was as corrupt, but just in a more old fashioned way... Mafia and Church.

craxi is where you need to look to understand B.
(and to see where he comes from)
Andreotti was a different type of corruption.Gladio,for example.Ustica.Posted 6 months ago # -
I don't know about all that political stuff but I can't fault him checking out the ladies.

and the good ole traditional corruption agents,mafia,church have stood by B,have gained thanks to B.So,I don't agree about traditional corruption/new corruption.It all slots in nicely.for some.

I heard on the radio today that he is worth seven billion! Whatever the outcome he'll be ok, infact the worse it gets the more money he's likely to make.

much much more.loads of offshore accounts.holding societies.
much more.do you really think he declares everything?
esp after passing several laws that make fraud pretty much legal.Posted 6 months ago #
