PRESS FREEDON IN ITALY (III)

As Berlusconi said, Italy is the country where there is the largest Press Freedom is the world. He also said that the articles in the international press about Italy were the results of a plot. By attacking the editor of an opposition press group and using his old leitmotiv in a sense he accused the Jews and the communists for organizing such a plot…sounds familiar ?).

On 22 October, though, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government

“presented a citation to editor Ezio Mauro for his courage in leading La Repubblica so honorably and bravely in these perilous times. It was awarded in hope and belief that the fight for press freedom in Italy will prevail.
At a time of grave jeopardy for freedom of the press in Italy, La Repubblica under Mauro's editorial guidance has courageously insisted in its pages that government must be accountable to the citizens and that the role of the press is to demand that accountability.
Despite threats, economic pressure and lawsuits seeking millions in damages, La Repubblica has continued to lead the fight for making power accountable and has inspired hundreds of thousands of Italians to join the fight for genuine press freedom.” (Harvard Kennedy School Press release).

Definitely America, after Obama’s election, is becoming a communist party, will think Berlusconi following his old time Republican friends. And Shorenstein and Nieman sound quite Jew names, like that of La Repubblica editor….A Jews and communist international plot, will poor Berlusconi resist ? He really deserves the Peace Nobel Prize ….(see below)
