“Los dos Papas” Fake-News en la pantalla de Netflix

UncategorizedLeave a comment

Como periodistas investigativos, como analistas políticos,  no podemos pasar por alto el fastidio que nos causa ser testigos de la tremenda manipulación mediática que representa  el ver la popular película “Los dos Papas”, una verdadera pieza maestra de lo que es fake-news, producida por Netflix. El fraude comienza ya al inicio de la película, cuando se nos advierte que  está “basada en hechos reales“.  En realidad lo que presenciaremos es justamente todo lo contrario. Por lo menos  se trata de una “fanta–ciencia” religiosa mal intencionada, con un marcado acento ideológico progresista, en pro de la teología de la  liberación católica, que creíamos  superada, pero rescatada por el papa Bergoglio. El verdadero Benedicto  no aparece en el film de Netflix, es todo lo contrario de lo que se presenta allí, y exactamente  lo mismo sucede con el Papa Bergoglio. ¡El film  es puro fake-news !

La Calle Pou : A Balancing Act?

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

New, right-of-center President Luis Lacalle Pou took office in Uruguay on Sunday. This article describes just what the ascendance of this 46 year old surfer and son of a former president means for the economy, rule of law, generational change and the future of this nation of 3.4 million. President Lacalle Pou thus comes with a clear mandate to preserve the stability that has marked the democratic period while getting tough on crime and jumpstarting the economy. And he is quite well armed and position to meet these goals. From the personal view point he represents a new generation that has no ties to the highly ideological agendas that presided the early days of the return to democracy. He also is a fruit of Uruguay’s globalization. As such knows how to manage other countries interests in favor of Uruguay. He has given signs that he understands that Uruguay can be the moderating power in Merco Sur and a reliable asset to the US in South America. In short,   Lacalle Pou might succeed in playing a successful balancing act for Uruguay that could ignite growth while continuing to strengthen democracy and rule of law in a continent where these are scarce assets.
