Argentinian journalism is not exactly the finest kind, but also local politicians aren't exactly top-notch statesmen / politicians. They are often poorly dressed and speak like low-cultured people, even when they try to prove they are better than their adversaries.
I often try to imagine how the news would have been reported on an US/UK/Italian newspaper, instead, and the credibility/weight would change a great deal to me. Maybe it's just because I come from abroad and I am used to political messages being delivered in a more formal way.
