Italian Elections Round-up- January 24th, 2006 | 16 comments (16 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

"Over the past five years many foreign desks have pulled out of Rome. The coverage here has suffered accordingly."

Is that a bad thing? The less people around the world can see the shameful farce italian politics have become, the better. Look at your (very good and detailed) post: there isn't a single policy item being discussed, it's all about scandals and infighting all over again, with even the (really distasteful) return of state-sponsored dirty ops. Sigh.

Re: the good 'doctor' (none / 0)

I think I understand what you mean, but isn't it the more what goes on is hidden from the outside world, the more freedom there is to cheat, lie, swindle, rig justice and elections, etc? Showing the world what's happening seems to me to be the right thing to do.

You are absolutely right, I was just reacting to the sad state of things.
