Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s attacks on Mexican magazines look like an attempt by a populist president to silence critical voices

They “were the chiefs of the intelligentsia throughout the neoliberal period”,complained. He insinuated that they acted as hired propagandists for the governments of his predecessors. “They belong to the conservative grouping which would like to maintain the same regime of corruption, injustices and privilege,” he said earlier this month. These attacks, which apply, too, to, an independent newspaper, have intensified in the past few weeks.

Government support for the media through advertising is an unhealthy Mexican tradition, going back to the 1920s.is continuing it with partisan gusto. During his first year in office, the two main television companies, which provide adulatory coverage, received a total of 700m pesos in advertising.Letras Libres

lived purely from state largesse during earlier administrations are false. Mr Krauze says that income from the state, which included advertising, subscriptions by public libraries and contracts for historical documentaries, amounted to only 15% of the total revenues of his cultural businesses,’s case government advertising was around 25% of the total.are niche publications whose combined circulation is fewer than 30,000 copies . So why isscared of them? There are two apparent reasons.

This month 650 of Mexico’s most prominent academics and intellectuals published an open letter stating that “freedom of expression is under siege in Mexico, and with that democracy is threatened.” That mirrors the fears of intellectuals in Brazil regarding their populist president, Jair Bolsonaro. Mr Bolsonaro is of the right, andclaims to be of the left. But it increasingly looks as if the main difference between them is merely that the Mexican speaks more softly and has nicer manners.

Let's start by not labeling krauze (tiny one) as an intellectual. He is the dog behind Operation Berlin.

EnriqueKrauze Those journals with almost zero circulation, won millions of dollars of public contracts in the past administrations, a practice that in México is called 'chayotes'. You give me money and I'll only tell nice things about your government. Fortunately AMLO stopped that practice.

More fake news from the econimist

NUESTRO UNICO LIDER ES EL PRESIDENTE DE MÉXICO Y SI DIOS LO PERMITE LO VOLVEREMOS A REELEGIR!

Rafomx 👇🏼

That's absolutely false, today more than ever there's freedom of expression in Mexico... the political opposition pay to mass media to attack to the president with fake news. They were beneficiary of the corruption but now are angry because it's over.

ElSitiodeAna Inches Amarrillistas!. Quítales su Moche!. Gran cacas!..😂😂😂😂

when a person is insecure like this president, he sees Moors with tranchetes

Looks like Chávez AND Maduro.

Hay Pacto de Impunidad! Confiesa vocera 4T Armendáriz, no me tocas no te toco! Juego perverso de Amlo la Consulta para enjuiciar Expresidentes.

Thrilled to see who is the last men standing.... Fourth Estate vs Fourth Transformation.... in any case, I go for Mexico. None of the above are at the level of such great country. Meanwhile...

When a president dedicate a press conference to talk about the “negative” articles about him in the middle of an economic a sanitary crisis you know something is very wrong. He only cares about his popularity leaving Mexico’s problems aside. great article

Ataca a los periódicos mexicanos? Comunismo? No me hagan reír

By the way FreeJulianAssange SAME ON THE 🇬🇧 UK

Hahaha ! Rothschild and Agnelli families in action 3,2,1.....

cuando en mexico habia libertad de prensa

Damn, Mexico being a bad place for journalists? Who would’ve thought

Critical voices? Voices that were paid while ex-president EPN., was selling the oil to other countries at his own benefits, killing students, or how about Calderon selling to his buddies MEXICAN mines, PEMEX, selling them the Mexican electric companies? Were where those voices?

Porque no hacen investigaciónes importantes?😠 Por Ejemplo, La Secta NXIVM Keith Rainiere, sus cómplices Como, Salinas y Lebaron,

que mentirosos los del economista hay mas libertad ahora que antes, cuantos les pago la derecha extremista conservadora para que digan mentiras. el economista ya se prostituye.

It’s priceless when you find poor quality in journalism that collaborates with some editorials... When the editorial of a “small magazine” like “the economist” has a biased view of real journalism, they censure the true journalist. 🤑 BiasedJournalims = corruption

Shitty journalism. You don't have a fucking idea what you are writing about. He's not a populist, he is veryyyyy popular. You don't know mexican recent history.
