The Success of Berlusconi

Berlusconi's media before the creation of Fox News created a hyper-partisan type of media. He said, we have to sing in chorus so that the people who attack us are then hit with concentrated fire and they will stop. Anytime you raise your head and criticize Berlusconi you could count on scurrilous stories appearing about you. What he has or had that is also very much like Trump is this ability to appeal to people who are in a very different economic class from him. The fact that he tells off-color jokes and- It's like Trump. Very much.
