"Argentine president Javier Milei once again attacked the journalism of Argentina that is critical of his government, after calling press workers ‘hired killers with credentials of so-called journalists’ and saying that ‘people do not hate them enough.’
'I had believed that a large part of journalism had reached its peak as lying trash in covering poverty reduction. I was wrong. I fell short,' he expressed through his X account, in a publication titled ‘Lying Journalists.’
The head of state alluded to the analysis of some media regarding the measurement of poverty, which official data accounted for 38.1% in the second half of 2024, a drop of 14.8 points compared to the first half of the same year, where the measurement only includes 31 most populated urban centers of the country and covers 29.8 million out of a total of 47 million people.
[...]
During the first year of Milei's administration, the Argentine Journalism Forum (Fopea, for its initials in Spanish) recorded 173 aggressions against the press, 'one every two days,' where the Argentine president was the aggressor in one third of the total."
