Inside Story Americas - Is the media fair in Latin America?

2012-07-06 18

There have been allegations of dirty tricks in Mexico's election and also allegations of media bias against the left, not just in Mexico but also elsewhere in Latin America. Enrique Pena Nieto thought he had won Mexico's elections on Sunday, but he will have to wait to be officially crowned Mexico's president-elect. Election officials announced that they were recounting more than half the ballot boxes in the presidential election. But there is also an allegation of vote-buying - with Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), accused of trading votes for shopping vouchers and other gifts.
