El Mercurio


Well, today I'll speak about a newspaper I like: EMOL which stands for El Mercurio Online.
This a conservative Chilean newspaper with editions in Valparaíso and Santiago. In Santiago this morning paper is considered the most important because it has the biggest distribution in Chile. Is very formal and I think, the best journalists work there. El Mercurio of Valparaìso edition is the oldest daily in Spanish language currently in circulation.

This is Teletubbie-Landia. The Capitalism make real.
I like this newspaper because it doesn't speak about bullshit (When I say bullshit I'm talking about show business. I really hate this branch of my colleagues). The only bad thing in there is their past.
El Mercurio received funds from the CIA in the early 1970s to undermine the Socialist government of Salvador Allende, acting as a mouthpiece for anti-Allende propaganda. The paper played "a significant role in setting the stage for the military coup" which took place on 11 September 1973, bringing General Pinochet to power.

I try to think this is past but sometimes I think El Mercurio supports right wing of politics... and I hate it. I think Capitalism sucks and  people must open their eyes, El Mercurio doesn't help in it. But, this newspaper is good, has important news and provides very interesting information.

I hope in a future we can have a newspaper with our opinion....
