Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata in Argentina criticized the ideological slant in Argentina’s official state-run media, which, he explained, saturates “viewers and listeners with their ideology.”
The archbishop noted that some channels have “very good programs. But the strong ideological line and one-sidedness is noteworthy. No pluralism exists, as corresponding to the country, especially in the state-run media,” he added.
During the program, “Keys to a Better World,” Archbishop Aguer noted that many of the programs “are technically very good … but nevertheless the ideological virus is present. It is just another one of the defects of the media,” he said.
He then encouraged Argentineans to voice their objections to government and media officials.
