Argentine President Follows In Chavez’s Footprints

The Wall Street Journal had an op-ed yesterday talking about the lack of free press in Argentina. Apparently the country’s president, not liking the copious amounts of (well-deserved) criticism she has received from the press in the time since her election, has decided to pull a Chavez and exert state control over much of the nation’s media. Chavez- who recently told citizens to limit their showers to three minutes- is the epitome of a “Dear Leader” dictator, and it appears he’s not the only one with such humble aspirations in South America.
