Berlusconi may censor news agencies for covering gaffes

If Italy's far-right Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi doesn't want people to think of him as a dictator, then he should stop being a dictator.

A dictator he is. Make no mistake about it. I've been hoarding articles about Berlusconi's administration for ages, and now this story shifts his dictatorial demeanor back to the frontburner.

Berlusconi is now threatening to clamp down on news agencies and journalists who dare to report his many humiliating gaffes. He says he will take "hard measures" against reporters.

Among Berlusconi's gaffes are his yakking on his cell phone during a group photograph of NATO leaders and his shouting at President Obama during another photo shoot. This display prompted an annoyed Queen of England to say, "Why does he have to shout?"

Berlusconi's Italy doesn't exactly sound like part of the "league of democracies" the EU claims to be, does it? I can post other examples of this too, and I will.
