(not unlike Trump's Truth Social gambit)
There are numerous smaller RW outfits as well - and only one sizable left-wing one: C5N (which Macri tried to shut down).
Much like Trump keeps threatening to shut down MSNBC, should he get back in.
Qué será. As much as democracies need big money out of politics, they need big money out of journalism even more.
