Argentina's President Javier Milei has launched an attack against the country's media. President Kirchner wants to put an end to an enormous flow of votes that the President garnered in the runoff.
The President wants to stop journalists from speaking in terms of “with me or against me,” he says. The president is trying to encourage self-censorship due to the fear of public outrage or that of armies of trolls, says journalist Juan Manuel Márquez. Mámquez: “The sacred flame of journalism is doubt, verification of data, constant questioning.” The President once again launched his attack against journalism and against journalists, with disqualifications, insults and various complaints, writes Mársquez. He adds that attacking journalists, in addition to everything, can be an effective mechanism to encourageSelfcensorship. The next day, while she was explaining what happened on Diputados TV, journalist Laura Serra announced on camera that they had just asked her over the phone to stop talking about the subject.
