    The eight-decade news organization, with over 800 staff, is the latest casualty of Milei's drive to shake up the prior corrupt progressive government. He told lawmakers last Friday about his plans to shutter the media outlet as part of a wave of reforms targeting public bodies that he warns are "covert propaganda ministry."

    "We will close the news agency Télam, which has been used as a Kirchnerist propaganda agency for the last decades," Milei told lawmakers, referring to former president Cristina Kirchner.

    And, of course, US legacy media outlets were unhappy about Milei's move.

    Reuters cited the Buenos Aires Press Union, which wrote on X:

    "It is a blow against democracy and freedom of expression, and that is why we are going to defend it."
    The libertarian and self-described "anarcho-capitalist" understands the government shouldn't have a monopoly on the so-called 'free press'. The president is also ridding the government of dangerous 'collectivist experiments' such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

    sadly the "conservatives" would string him up for stopping tax breaks and ending gigantic military budgets. The left would string him up for socialism/DEI and ending gigantic military budgets.
    Our bureaucracy would throw everything it had at him. Can you imagine what would happen to someone who flat ended central control of....well anything?

    Even if we could draft him, he would not live long I do not think.

    I'm surprised he's lasted this long in Argentina.
