Lets be friends.



Nuclear energy is one of those topics that will never get old, it can be used to generate electric power, or destroy entire cities. That only depends on how you want to use it.

Iran is a countries that started a nuclear program witch is the cause of concern for some great powers like US, Germany, China, France and the UK, in recent months, the parties have tried to stablish dialogs.

In this context, news outlet telesur from Venezuela and the BBC have published news regarding this issue. In BBC I found a report where they talk about how dialogs haven’t been succesfull and how great powers have achieved an agreement that puts an end to differences with the controversial nuclear program, while telesur talks about how iran proposes the destruccion of all nuclear weapons in the world, for it to enter a stage of wisdom and harmony. Also pointin out that they still seek an agreement but the great powers must stop the demands and threats.

BBC’s report seems to be less biased by giving the facts straight, but they seem to have left out the Iranian declarations about them wanting peace and love, in regards to telesu’s report where you can clearly see their support for the irainian government and not showing the big picture, but focusing on the Iranian good will. 








Disappointment






In may the INDEC or “instituto nacional de estadística y censos” for its spanish initials, in charge for measuring unemployment rates in Argentina, published their results for the first trimester of 2014. 

News outlets rejoiced on this rates, and I personally feel outraged by the way that every single outlet I read presented the rates, all of them saying partial truth, and from that point on, manipulating information.

Telesur, venezuela’s news outlet shows in their headlines “Argentina’s unemployment rates decrease” pointing out good labor from Argentinian policies, while a great part of Argentinian outlets show depressing news for their people, where the unemployment rates only increases and people isn’t even looking for job. 

Truth is the rates have increased in comparison to last trimester (Q4 2013), but decreased when compared to the first trimester of 2013, and this was enough for anyone to write whatever truth they like.




Report from the INDEC










Whatever you say is a lie.



Recently, In the middle of the ukranian conflict, Russia had placed military units in the frontier with Ukraine, Monday, May 19th , Russian president Vladimir Putin, said they would withdraw troops, this are the facts.

That same day the BBC and RT in their Spanish versions published news about it, RT stated that troops would withdraw because they had finished their military exercises y leads people to believe that they also want the conflict to be resolved in a pacific way. BBC on the other side, mentions how the Ukrainian chief of national security Andriy Parubiy questions Russian intentions publishing this information and adds that nor the Whitehouse or the NATO have seen proof of the withdrawal. 

Its interesting how this news appears in the BBC, the way it is presented makes any reader question the intentions of Russia, on the other side, the news that RT published makes Russia look like the good guys who just want to protect their territory from foreign problems and seek peace.

Both reports show little neutrality and while they seem to only state facts, it is the way that the statement is made whats important. Leading the reader to believe an specific thing
