This article represents what many of the biased newspapers of South America tend to do in their criticisms of presidential candidates. While concentrating on Mujica's past and current political blunders there are no equal references to Lacalle's own blunders. This article focuses on the shortcomings of the Frente Amplio yet makes no effort to report upon the Partido Nacional. Also the use of words like allegedly and supposedly infer uncertainty, however, in the cases of those tried for war crimes in Uruguay it is more than certain that human rights violations were committed. The author of this article is writing his own history with a clear personal bias that does not belong in journalism. Perhaps the drop in support for annulling La Ley de Caducidad is due to the fact that the media does not make an effort to inform its citizens about what La Ley de Caducidad. The press in Uruguay may be free, but that does not mean that it is unbiased or objective, otherwise such important referendums would be more widely discussed in the media, but they are rarely even mentioned.
