    I once saw a Milei interview on YouTube. It was from before he became president. He went on a deranged tirade about how “the central bank are thieves” without explaining why. In the comments, a British guy was commenting about how wise he was.

    The interview where he was spouted this nonsense and the “interviewer” just sat there nodding in agreement reminded me of India’s news media of today. Billionaires have an unopposed and total control of TV news channels and newspapers which then do uncritical PR for their favoured political party of their patrons (mostly BJP) and most of the “news” has devolved into an electoral circus where the “news” is concerned with what this and that politician said about an event rather then the event itself.

    The billionaires that own these news outlets welcome imperialists plundering their motherland as long they get a cut from it. I reckon it should be similar in Argentina.

      As a USian, this sounds very familiar
