Of interest for third-worlders too!

In Brazil, where Mr. Marinho rules unchallenged, or in Argentina, where a still
more privatizing media law is pushed from the government, not a single cent
would have been received.

Is it a matter of chance that Mr. Schindler's wife, and probably the actual
saviour of Jews, has never been promoted by the screen? Emily is living her
last years here, in Argentina, silently kept down by the imperial press intent
on permanently demonstrating that Argentina has always been a haven for
Nazis...
