Viva Zapatero! Haro on Berlusconi

She will not let that happen!
Sabina Guzzanti, famous Italian comedian, saw her satirical show deleted ... so she counter-attacks with this film. It must be said that the TV program in question was indeed censored, when it criticized precisely the stranglehold of Silvio Berlusconi on the Italian media.

A long amount of grievances
Indeed, the richest man in Italy has enormous media power. It is first owner of the largest TV channels in the country and several newspapers. Moreover, since his arrival at the head of the government, he found himself also directing the public channels. Here it is with a sacred monopoly! Then follows a long list of attacks on freedom of expression, since the exclusion of several journalists who opposed him, until the end of the broadcast of Sabina Guzzanti.

The grass is greener in the neighbor's field
To demonstrate to the Italian people (and to us, neighbors concerned) that their country turns to censorship, the humorist has several assets in the sleeve. First, she's funny. It's his job. Then, she does not hesitate to go into the thick of the subject, with interviews conducted. Finally, and above all, Sabina compares what is happening at home with foreign policies: she questions the imitator English Rory Bremmer, quotes the Guignols of the Info and Karl Zero, remembers the freedoms that Michael Moore ... The title of the film is a tribute to the Spanish Prime Minister who, as soon as he came to power, guaranteed the independence of public television in his country.
