Title: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: K9 on September 13, 2010, 10:02:09 AM I guess this is really past politics at this point and into a whole new bizarro world (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/13/silvio-berlusconi-hitler-joke) :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: dusematic on September 13, 2010, 10:07:07 AM He's so incorrigible!
Title: Re: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: Sir T on September 13, 2010, 10:18:59 AM Berlusconni gets a LOT of REALLY HONEST coverage as his media company has totally blocked Murcoch's Newscorp from the Italian market, so every one of his foibles and gaffs gets a ton of coverage internationally for the sin of thwarting Murcoch.
Not saying the guy isn't a gigantic wanker, but there's more going on here than a really embarrassing PM. Title: Re: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: K9 on September 13, 2010, 10:36:14 AM Um, Murdoch doesn't own the Guardian
Title: Re: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: Sir T on September 13, 2010, 10:57:42 AM I never said he did. But Murdoch has succeeded in giving legitimacy to the constant reports on Berlisconi by making him a figure of fun. Memes don't just form in the internet.
And as I mention Berlusconi IS a colossal wanker Title: Re: Oh, Berlusconi Post by: Teleku on September 13, 2010, 11:03:17 AM From everything I've ever seen him say over the years, I'd say he's actually getting under reported in the media.
