This story, of course, gets zero coverage in the US media. The venerable New York Times has nothing. In fact, in the
World section of NYTimes.com there is a
Times Topics: Find News By Country section with a drop-down list of countries. Choosing Argentina brings these gems: the last story in the category is dated
December 14, 2007, in which La Presidenta faults the US for meddling in Latin AMerican affairs; next is this gem: in macho Argentina, a new beacon for Gay tourists, dated December 3, 2007 -- and then one about Queen Cristina from September! Geez!
El País, Madrid leftist rag, does cover Argentina well -- well, it covers it, and it does have a story about the agri-strike. The strike, now 17 days old, will last until at least Wednesday.
