Is the italian television acceptable?
5 April, 2001

We receive bad reports from tourists visiting Italy about Italian television.
Italy, generally famous for its millenarian culture, shows a low profile regarding public and commercial television.
Horoscopes, divinations, naked women, quiz programmes where it is possible to win a lot of money easily. Is this an acceptable television?
Recently the Osservatore Romano, a news paper of the Catholic church questioned the correctness of the tax on public television.
Is it irrational to demand a television that promotes our consciousness of life?
