You may recall that Trump's old friend Mauricio Macri - the "Trump of the Pampas" - was voted out of office last October after his policies led to a financial crisis.

After all, if you pursue Bush-like policies - you'll get a Bush-like crisis (especially in Argentina!).

But right-wing media has been chafing, ranting, and raving ever since. And when it comes to viciousness, Faux News has nothing on their Argentine counterparts - especially TN cable news, which belongs to the powerful Clarín Group.

The current president, Alberto Fernández (who's somewhere between Bernie and Biden ideologically), enjoys 60% approval overall - and 80% approval on his handling of the Covid crisis.

Opponents see the spreading of the Covid as the best way to undermine his administration. And the deaths? You make an omelet, you break a few eggs.

This same dynamic is probably happening in other countries as well.
