    I thought Keiko would win it, but Mr. Humala pulled it out. This is a nail in the coffin of neoliberalism.

    His victory would have been overwhelming if the Peruvian media had not sided so blatantly with Keiko.

    I agree, Private Peruvian Media was (still is) overwhelmingly biased against Mr Humala, specially that Liberal clown Jaime Bayly who had for weeks anti Humala shows. Do you know that guy? His family is also in the mining business and banking.

    No, I don't know that guy. I don't have much knowledge of Peru's internal affairs. From the comments on the international press, however, I've read that Peruvian media overwhelmingly favoured Keiko. Vargas Llosa - himself a neoliberal right-winger! - even decided to quit his columns at Peru's oldest outlet, El Comércio, because the newspaper had turned into a propaganda machine for Fujimori.

    Some South American countries suffer from that same problem, though perhaps in a lesser extent. In Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru the media is biased against nationalists such as Omala (or Lula, for that matter) and tend to favour neoliberal “moderates.” It seems that the situation in Venezuela and Peru is the most obscene. The Argentine media is perhaps more oft than that of those two countries, and the Brazilian media is itself more moderate than Argentina's.

    @marcos....lol. I understood his Argentinian boyfriend or ex boyfriend, whatever, likes it like that, though he has a gf..or whatever. Neo-liberals are weird. Anyway Forget, foxnews and CNN are cookies compare with the Media in South America. Dutch media is..so called liberal, but also bogus. Vargas Llosa, I'm sure he's satisfied how his neoliberal policies are working in Spain.

    Interesting what you said about the Dutch media. I've always thought that the South America media is the way it is because the region is so socially divided due to poor income distribution. Thus, to preclude populations from moving politically to demand better life standards, media elites act collectively to denigrate nationalist movements and parties. But problems such as that one probably don't affect the Netherlands. So why do you say think Dutch media is biased, and in what way it is?

    Vargas Llosas only interest in this elections was Payback to the Fujimori Clan, nothing more, nothing less. Vargas ideologic position stands opposite to what Humala represents, but his personal instinct of vengance was bigger. You need to know, that Vargas was candidate for presidential elections beginning of the 90ies, and he lost against Alberto Fujimori. Its ironic, that after making such a big short termed campaign for Ollanta (between first elections one month ago and the second pass now) he was one of the biggest opponents to Humala before... there you can see this is all a circus of narcism. It's really a pity for the fate of that country, but it's their own home made reality.

    Forget, first of all the political groups have their own (each major one has one channel) what the taxpayers are paying for..(kijk and luister tax, meaning in Dutch, look and listen tax for tv and radio)

    What I also meant is, you can compare the Dutch media with uhmm..for example..Geoff comments. Not always biased, but “they know it all better”. I hope you understand me.
