Lanata No Mas?!

[jp]

Cause of simple maths & common sense....not many can go out & afford to pay AR$10 for a block of paper with outdated news when you can just turn on your mobile phone & catch the latest. On line internet news seems to be far more practical wouldn't you agree? no?

I do, but the ley de medios isn't affecting online properties either. In truth, the ley de medios isn't really affecting Clarin's freedom to say anything at all. If they want to keep Lanata they are free to put him on any channel they want. It's up to the channel, what they believe gets them the best ratings, what their advertisers like, and what they can negotiate with Lanata.

There's a conflation of two seperate issues - the long term economic impact on Clarin group's dominance of the Argentine media landscape, and "press freedom". I don't buy the argument that Clarin needs to own vast swathes of the nations airwaves in order to be "free" to broadcast their editorial line.

Clarin shoudl (and do) have the right to say whatever they want. They don't however have the right to own all the mouthpieces for perpetuity.

BAjo, then why didn't they apply the Ley de Medios to Telefe , America & the rest of the K media too?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You & I know too well that the others have breached the media law too..why is this FACT being CONVENIENTLY ignored by the K supporters?
They too have been in breach of the law for years but Cristina didn't seem bothered by it.
Why is Cristina only applying it on Clarin??? Funny huh?

The law is enforced to 29 media groups. Only Clarin is rebel.

Clarin's divestment plan. Probably tied up in court for two lifetimes.

I agree with you, I also don't agree that any one group should concentrate media, in fact I was against the Howard Government's move in Australia when they decided it would be a good idea to concentrate the news media back then. I was as dead against it then as I WOULD be against it now in Argentina IF we were living under a genuinely DEMOCRATIC government who's sole obsession isn't based on restricting & suffocating opposing political voices.

Not here! not with Cristina, and certainly not when we know that if they were really serious about the ley the medios they should have applied it to Telefe & all the other pro K media groups who are in clear violation of the 35% media law limits . No way would I be that naive enough to believe that Cristina is doing it solely to protect my rights. It would be laughable to say the least.

The limit of 10 air or radio stations basically means 1 company can not run an air channel argentina wide?

is this the case?

Too late. The SC already said that the deadline was over. That's why afsca told them that they can add to a presentation made in proper time by a minor partner of Clarin.

Having a SC precedent, it can be enforced. You don t know but the procedure for enforcing a sentence is "do it now and complain in a new trial later".

By the way, they need to suplir in 5?????????? So gross was the excess of licenses?

IF we were living under a DEMOCRATIC government

I wonder what you call democratic, didnt she win by 54% two years ago?

Excuse me??????????
You asserted that it was enforced only to Clarin. I evidenced that a) you are missinformed or b ) you lie.
Your comments have zero credibility.

He calls a Democratic government to a country were politicians who lost elections rules. This is what the oposition wants but...ups, that's a dictatorship.
