The centralization of ownership of the private media in the United States and elsewhere has become increasingly pronounced, at the same time that its reporting has become increasingly one-sided and monolithic. My blog seeks to expose this lack of objectivity and present alternative ideas that point in the direction of much-needed fundamental change.

LULA'S COMEBACK IN BRAZIL
Back in 2016-2017, with the pushback against
progressive Latin American governments in Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere,
conservative pundits such as former Foreign Minister of Mexico Jorge Castañeda,
glibly announced the death of the "Pink Tide" in the region. With
recent victories of progressive candidates in Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia and now
Ecuador and with the disastrous performance of neoliberal presidents and the
repression they have unleashed, Castañeda’s prediction appears off the mark.
What Castañeda and company did not take into account is the Pink Tide’s appeal
as shown by its duration in power, its organizational strength and the extensiveness
of its following.
