In the 1970s, #Italy was one of the most advanced countries for feminism. Then came Berlusconi. Since then it's been three decades of regression.

Wondery's #BungaBunga podcast provides a good English explainer of how we got here. wondery.com/shows/bunga-bu…

People note similarities between #Berlusoni & #Trump in the @WonderyMedia podcast.

But I found the similarities (and concurrence) between the rise of Berlusconi's #MediaSet & #FoxNews more unnerving.

Both became so powerful they set the tone & agenda for the main broadcasters.
Berlusconi's #MediaSet managed to transform the content of Italian public broadcaster RAI just as #FoxNews managed to transform the news content of the main US networks. Both were coarsened.

The 'sexy shopping' segment aired on RAI 2, not Mediaset.
