For some time now, I have believed that when future historians look back at politics at the turn of the 21st century, they will place the blame for the collapse of Western civilization on the shoulders of one man, Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
This is very useful analysis. I wonder, though, about the claim that Trump entered into a symbiotic alliance with Murdoch/ Fox News. I recall that Fox didn’t swing behind Trump until he won the republican nomination and, although Trump is undoubtedly a ratings-driver, is it true that his support meaningfully expanded Fox’s reach?
