					<description><![CDATA[Well it comes down to this .. who bankrolled Malta Today? How has that newspaper, with relatively little income from advertising, managed to survive financially?

Who has the money and the motivation and most to gain from Malta Today? Whose agenda has Malta Today promoted? Why was it so hell bent on destroying Gonzi and certain individuals, and so keen to stay away from criticising others?

My first impression when I heard Kessler speak was &#039;what beautiful Italian he has&#039;. I immediately noticed this because, as strange as it may sound, it is very rare for an Italian to have good Italian, even a person of his calibre. This is due to the many dialectal and other linguistic influences which are foreign to Florentine (now called Modern Italian). 

In fact, the Italians with the best Italian tend to be those who are bilingual, hence Tiroleans and Friulans for example, whose native languages - German, Ladin or Furlan - don&#039;t tend to be mixed and confused with Modern Italian when speaking. This is because their native languages are considerably different to Italian. The same cannot be said for Veneti or Neapolitans for example, who notoriously have terrible Italian due to their inability to discern whether a given word or used syntax is from their native tongues or from Italian.

For this reason Min Weber, I do not buy into your theory. There are many other things wrong with the note, but I will leave this for those who studied &#039;Italianistica&#039; to shed light on all of this.]]></description>
