Massive Blockings to La Nación and Clarín

“…The demonstration resulted in Clarín’s failure to be distributed on Sunday, the day of largest newspaper circulation, for the first time in 65 years.”

Because: It’s the freedom of assembly (which Argentines exercise so well) versus the freedom of the press. I realize those are US amendments, but it’s fair to say they are shared democratic values internationally.

That this happened is disturbing. It should not happen.

Note: I almost wrote “American amendments” above. The US might be the United States of America, but it is not “America.” “America” includes North, Central and South America. Latin America is “America,” too, and you run the chance of offending a number of Argentines if you refer to the US as “America.”
