“The Corriere della Sera”, the most important newspaper in Italy, is more or less balanced in Putin’s judgement; but once in a while publishes headlines like “This is Putin’s Supersonic Plane (Truth or Propaganda?)”.
“L’Unità”, a newspaper that until 10-15 years ago was of the extreme-left, once headlined “Putin is Ready to Invade Crimea” without a single shred of journalistic evidence.
All this media circus has been going on for almost 2 years now, in the case of “La Repubblica” it has been going on for almost 15 years, since the very inception of Putin’s appointment.
The moderate left and the Catholic center (the “liberals”, as usual) see Putin as a dictator who invades countries.
In the final analysis the more that propaganda is disseminated in Italy (and not only in Italy) the more people using the Internet become aware that there’s something wrong with the official version about Putin and his supposed misdeeds. 20-30 years ago the propaganda masters could have gotten away with it but in the 21st century when lies can be exposed in a few minutes, the so called propaganda is aimed at the most gullible layers of society, that is, to people with no education or older people with views still lingering in the past.
