Guardian:
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation last night announced that it was suing two of the firms in Silvio Berlusconi's media empire, accusing them of refusing to let satellite broadcaster Sky Italia advertise on the Italian prime minister's terrestrial network.

The explosive growth of the Internet has led to such a proliferation of content out in the long tail that it is now virtually infinite.

The judge is going to have to wear a HAZMAT suit to hear this one.
Given the parties, no matter who loses, WE win.
But it would be a relative "win". If Murdoch loses the ENTIRE world wins, if Berlusconi loses, some Italians may win, but the ENTIRE world still loses BIG time.
Berlusconi is an insignificant "problem" that can be solved with just one election, Murdoch is a global malignant cancer that keeps spreading.
Come' on Silvio, aren't you accused of being "friendly" with the ma.fia? Go ahead, unleash it on this ba.s.tar.d! Do the world a favor. I promise we won't hold it against you.
eden,
these guys should duke it out in he11
I don't agree. Murdoch deserves he11, the other one is still redeemable in purgatory.
The USA does not even rank within the top 25 countries in the world for education!
We were warned:
Australians warned us not to allow Rupert Murdoch to infiltrate our free press standards
England warned us not to allow Rupert Murdoch to infiltrate our free press standards
Sir Richard Branson said something like "if we let him, Murdoch will destroy democracy".
We ignored Australia and England- look at the dumb down we got!
WSJ- Dumb it Down President!
Two dictators going at it...should be a real slugfest...but quality of service will suffer, no matter who is the winner, since neither man believes in anything except blind, useless propaganda.
AVP
Silvio, you could use some Sicilians
Murdoch the Morelok is sueing these guys because they are controlling the media? Isn't that the epitomy of irony??
Monster vs Another Monster.
I'll be very happy if they can take each other down simultaneously.... fast.
I hope murdoch marginally wins but only after a lengthy, expensive, frustrting, and heart wrenching experience.
I hope they both lose
Murdoch & Berlusconi deserve each other 2 nasty a**holes
Can a person sue themselves? Cuz I can't tell these two apart.
Think I route for the Italians on this one.
Mad mad(Murd) is looking for troubles,Berlusconi don't play that,lol
