Milei trumpets quarterly budget surplus in TV address | Buenos Aires Times
President announces Argentina’s first quarterly fiscal surplus since 2008 during a televised speech, promising his commitment to eliminating deficits wouldn’t waver throughout his term.
I need to make a moderator judgment here and I am going to have to rely on people who know more about Argentina than I do. I'd prefer to hear from at least three people before I decide:
Is this a source that is just parroting government PR or is this actual reporting?
Media Bias Fact Check hasn't updated its information on this source in five years and I know the political landscape in Argentina was very different five years ago. It also says that the source is mostly factual, but on the right. And Milei is a right-wing president, so I don't know whether or not it should be trusted.
If it's the former, I will remove it as a violation of rule 3, but if it is the latter, I won't.
I trust the same level of scrutiny is applied to left-leaning sources, yes?
If the left-wing source is one I am unfamiliar with and it touts a left-wing success of a left-wing government in such a glowing way, yes. I do. Because we have rules in this community and it's my job to maintain them.
As it happens, I delete left-wing posts which violate rule 3 on a regular basis.
When people ask these sort of questions of me, I always suspect it's because it's not something they themselves would be even-handed about, so they expect that no one else would be.
Source: I have no idea and my IQ is prolly below average. Just stop posting at this point
If I give you a dollar and you don't spend it, you have a surplus. Congrats guys, we solved all our problems!
cutting literally all of your social programs while your country is starving and poor will do that
Initially, at least.
