Government wants to set up news censorship agency

[antipodean]

El kirchnerismo creó un organismo para supervisar qué noticias se publican en los medios de comunicación

“Un primer paso hacia el Ministerio de la Verdad”; “un cepo al periodismo”; “mecanismos que no son republicanos". Así opinaron los especialistas sobre NODIO, la iniciativa oficial que busca detectar, verificar y desarticular “operaciones” detrás de la información

These people have no limits. Ironic since their own media channels are rife with vitriol, name calling and enticement. This is the next step after Federic’s “cyber patrullaje” measures.

Not the mention such a “ministry of truth” would be a political tool under the power of the executive who is free to change its staff whenever they want or there is a new election meaning the “truth” of the state can only ever be the “truth” of the party.

If a government does a good job and has results that speak for themselves they have nothing to fear from the people. When you need to set up an agency to manipulate the message of results not speaking for themselves it’s a slippery slope into the abyss and it’s anything but democracy.

Hey, but don't call it South Venezuela. Nothing in common at all.
Lula and Dilma tried to pass something similar, but fortunately Congress would have none of it.
Typical Bolivarian tactic.

Argenzuela sounds like a slut.
Venetina, more like a ladies underware.

What's next?« Frente para todos, les guste o no»?
