Berlusconi is on the verge of getting back in in Italy?Given that the murder of a South African model by someone very few people care about isn't really very important in our lives, but the collapse of Europe's fourth-biggest economy *is* I'd expect some more coverage of that than another facile BBC "Berlusconi: Why do people vote for him after the scandals! We don't know but we've gathered a load of quotes we won't bother putting into context!" article.
