Clarin's blank front page today





Argentina’s main daily and the Spanish-language newspaper with largest circulation, Clarin, from Buenos Aires, appeared Monday with a blank front page to protest organized labour pickets that blocked Sunday’s edition distribution for almost twelve hours.

------------------------

Clarin and other opposition media blame the government of President Cristina Fernandez for the picketing. The government says it is a labor dispute.

Clarin and Cristina have been having a running battle for the past several months over Clarin's monopoly on newspaper pulp production, which was granted to Clarin by the military dictatorship.

----------------

Guess this could be one of those times when no news is good news.

1. What a shame Clarin continued without ever a rebuke after being the mouthpiece for the dictator
and white washing their entire Dirty War.

Sure hope her karma's close at hand. She really has had it coming.

Thanks for the news on Clarin. Hope the workers will win this strike.

It would be good if she sold the paper and retired from publishing their own designer facts.
