6. You're welcome. News coverage is definitely something Argentina always has a lot of.

As you know, there's a an array of cable and on-air news stations and/or programs - all over the country, and of a variety of political persuasions.

Though mainly center-right to right-wing, sadly.

Being on the center-left as I am (mostly), I often watch the Minuto Uno evening news on C5N cable news - which, like most cable news shows in Argentina, is available on YouTube in real time.



And thanks to the country's liberal fair-use laws, these shows - or portions thereof - are always available from any number of other sources.

Not surprisingly, Trump's pal Macri tried to have C5N shut down by using charges against its owners that were later found to have been trumped up.

Milei and his (pro-dictatorship) surrogates have already threatened to do likewise - especially against the smaller El Destape ('The Reveal' - https://www.eldestapeweb.com/).

The international press freedom mavens and 'papers-of-record'? Crickets.

That said - thanks as always for your interest, and for the insights Enid. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
