In what looks like a possible future for the US, the drama in Argentina between news people, the President, and the financial industry is heating up.
The President, Cristina Fernandez, is attempting to use the courts to go after Grupo Clarin owner Ernestina Herrera de Noble for supposedly adopting stolen babies, taken from murdered political prisoners of a prior regime.
Investors in the country are very upset with the government's intervention in markets, including the recent nationalization of private pensions.
The government has sent the tax man after the media group, harassed editors, nationalized a soccer brodcasting contract, and changed laws to force the sell off of some of the group's assets; all to retaliate for criticism of the President.
Let's see, Obama is at odds with the press corps; he is messing with the financial industry; he is nationalizing health care...
When will he start changing laws to harass and intimidate the press?
