Look what happened to the venerable El Universal...
Same thing in Vnzla....
They said that editorial independence would remain but soon the satirical cartoonists went, certain journalists were no longer welcome, hard-hitting commentors were quietly 'lost'...
Only govt-aligned business men could get access to the preferential dollar rates, certain people got very rich in a few years, other respectable business people were starved and hounded out.
Argentineans, look to Caracas to see your future.

Predictable. And the transaction passes the rotting roadkill sniff test in all its stinking glory. But wait - isn't the new partner in violation of the media concentration law? No! They have a K partisan waiver, obviously. One law for you and me and another for them. LOL. Funny thing is: Their equity will ultimately be absorbed in the final self destruction of perronism in the coming local economic armagedon.

We never found any more rats after that.

This is so sad... and so predictable.

Feb 19th, 2015 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but this is old news, you imbeciles.
when the ba herald was purchased by that piece of shite of szpolski back in 2007, it was already in the hands of the minions of kirchner.
it was the same with the group amfin and now with indalo, you retarded isleters.
the ba herald was a great newspaper when was managed by robert cox or graham yool.
and no, andrew graham yool is not british, you dumbassholes.
he is ar-gen-ti-no.
got it?
Everything is in place ....or close to it. Argentina is probably where Venezuela was 3/4 years ago. But think the fall is increasing in speed. It's probably unlikely that anyone can stop this madness and nationicide now. The marches do nothing..........violence is the only thing left.
Feb 19th, 2015 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very sad. As far as I am concerned, I will never read that newspaper again.

LIAR - DISHONEST - PATHETIC.
Paul, The foul language you've resorted to using since your life has crashed is unnecessary and make you look uneducated and low class.
Feb 19th, 2015 - 01:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Both of those are probably true but its still unecessary. If you can't get your point across without foul language you probably shouldn't bother posting.
Cap, I think Arg is going to bypass V sooner than 3-4 yrs. I think the Ks have deliberately sabotaged the next Gov't. There's no more U$ left in the economy and Grains are 12% below last year so all the profit is gone for anyone that farms less than 500 hectares. So now there's nothing left to bring in U$ this summer.
I think Griesa will allow many “me too”s to pile on and the judgement wil balloon up to U$10B and allow many many many entities to seize Arg property in the USA and possibly worldwide.
All about the same time the new Prez takes over
@6. Oh, how selective of you. Robert Cox IS British. And Andrew Graham-Yooll, whose name you can't spell properly, was born to a Scottish father and an English mother. Do you understand the international law on nationality? I gather he refers to himself as an Anglo-argie. Where did he go to escape the murderers of argieland? Don't you have an arsehole law that says anyone born in argieland is an argie? How desperate are you?

it doesn't exist.
the argentine law, tha only one that really matters in this case, says that if you were born in argentine soil, you are argentinian.
except the parasites of the islets, who were born in argentine soil, but thanks god they are another fucking thing...insects maybe.
you can also have other nationalities because of your ancestry, etc, but what the fuck has that got to do?

You fall right into CFK's hands - she manipulates you like you have a big puppet stick up your ass.
You rant at us, yet it is your FELLOW ARGENTINES who have screwed you over, lie to you, and destroy your country.
It must be impotent rage you feel, but you are AFRAID to say this to ARYENTINIANS.
CFK loves dupes like you!
Here we are agreeing with you:
- CFK has f*cked over the people
- CFK is lying
- CFK is corrupt
- CFK needs to be removed
- CFK is taking over the media
- NISMAN was MURDERED by CFK minions
- INDEC is lying about protest size
- the protest was 500,000+, not 250,000
- CFK's Ministers lie shamelessly, on her behalf
- CFK is ruining the economy
- Inflation is at least 35-40%
- Unemployment is increasing
We say all these things, exactly as you do!!
And yet, you are angry at us and say we don't know what we are talking about because:
- we are all “ isleters”
- we have no education
It seems we have a far better understanding of the world and Aryentina than your people do.
They and you, are blinded by hate - just as CFK wants.
Go rant at your own people - they are at fault - not us.
Frankly, I think at the root of your problem

1. Argentina had a terrorist attack on jews over 20 years ago
Feb 19th, 2015 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 02. Agentina is STILL investigating the attack
3. Nisman claims to have evidence that supports collusion between Argentina and Iran, a terrorist nation
4. Nisman conveniently commits “SUICIDE” hours before he was to testify
5. Kirchner agrees with the suicide
6. The next day Kirchner then states it was murder
7. The trolls had not caught up to Kirchner’s recant of suicide and still claimed it was suicide
8. Kirchner’s regime claims they are Innocent
9. Argentina wants the world to believe a country the rates 107 on the corruption scale
10. The Kirchner regime is in full spin mode denouncing anyone who criticizes them
11. People protest peacefully to no avail
Violence children,…….you need to take you country back and peaceful action will only get you set on fire.

no you dumbass, it was an attack on an argentinian israeli institution.
most of the victims were non jews.
“Nisman claims to have evidence that supports collusion between Argentina and Iran, a terrorist nation”
no you dumbass, what he said is that fernandez de kirchner; timerman, de vido, yrimia etc, covered up alí rafsanjani, alí velayati, hadi soleimanpour and, especially, mohsen rabbani.
why you insist in commenting about things you dont know or understand?
are you obliged to do so?
Because I have the freedom to do most as I please and critique argentina as much as I want too and you can't do a fucking thing about. Now grab tour clit and bitch about that.

Contrary to your propaganda, and your slavish repetition of the government Message, Your government is attempting to control ALL media.
Clarin may show a different bias than your government, but in a free society, an alternative point of view is necessary - several views is more desired!!
You are a true propagandist for the Peronists, and you would stifle the voice of the people.
If indeed, you are enjoying the freedom of living in Canada, whilst muzzling the Argentine people and supporting their corrupt kleptocracy, I am disgusted and embarrassed by your callousness and hypocrisy!!

Well said it Troy T! We happen to agree on this.
That's exactly the point of the Ley de Medios, which has now for years sought to break up the stronghold Clarín has on the public opinion through its multimedia conglomerate that throughout the country repeats and amplifies one single view: that of the Clarín Group.

As to CD2 questioning your ideological affiliations and history, it's a legitimate attempt to assess the truth of what you say, and what motivates you to make such statements.
Enrique, one has to question how you can enjoy all the benefits of a free democracy, yet actively perpetuate disinformation, to deny those rights to Argentines.
I suppose it's all just 'ideological' to you.

It doesn't matter that a Prosecutor doing his job, about to expose the crooks in power, got murdered before he could present his case.
It doesn't matter to him that if those things are allowed to happen, it intimidates others from bringing corrupt politicos to Justice.
Besides, he is far too lazy to stand for a principle- he's just hot air.

However, he rarely acknowledges any wrongdoings by his Government.
On the contrary, he takes great exception to any mention of it from us.

“The Chinese economy never made sense,” Chang said. “It kept expanding because the central government guided the economy upward. Now, however, China is growing too slowly, accumulating debt too quickly and China’s leaders have rejected fundamental reform.”
http://www.wallstreetsectorselector.com/investment-articles/editors-desk/2015/02/chinese-economic-slowdown-impacting-global-trade/
I use China when talking about Argentina because...well, because we all know Argentina does not manage themselves. Afterall, Asslips Kirchner sold Argentina to China and when has Argentina developed a plan to take care of themselves rather than begging others, like China to take care of Argentina?
Argentina I suggest the time has come to:
1-be accountable for you own actions....good or bad
2-grow up and mature and stop ranting and stomping like a pouty teenager
3-rid yourself of corruption, some of the highest levels of any country in the world
4-dis-associate yourself with terrorists nations, it will get you killed in the long run
5-give your people opportunities for self-reliance
