I have always have been perversely convinced that the falldown of Murdoch and Berlusconi is part of an underground war deriving from the competition between Mediaset and Sky -and other stuff.
Please do elaborate!
well not to much to elaborate, difficult matter.
the two groups (sky and mediaset) have been fighting against each other for the ladership of rights of satellite TV, that has been quite big here. consider that all italy is being forced to pass through the new digital transmissions, even if most Italian still carry on with old TVs. so this means that "free broadcasters" are showing always less material and if you want to have decent programs you must turn to satellites, etc.
the two main groups have been backstabbing each other for this leadership in the market, nothing new, and it sounds a bit weird that at the peak of this both Berlusconi and the Murdoch group get into any sort of scandal, exatly in the same moment.
These are just assumptions of a damaged brain of course, but I tend to not believe in large scale coincidences.
