Colombia news anchor scorned after claiming media are not to inform or anything
written by Adriaan Alsema June 17, 2017
Colombia’s social media turned against a news anchor after the publication of a YouToube video in which he said media were not supposed to inform but make money.
In the video, news anchor Felipe Arias of commercial television network RCN told two students that media “are not to inform or anything. It’s just to make money.”
. . .
Arias’ television network and other companies of RCN owner Carlos Ardila Lulle have been accused of sponsoring paramilitary umbrella organization AUC (1997-2006), according to historians the primary victimizer in the 52-year armed conflict the ongoing peace process seeks to end.

The integrity of Colombia’s mass media in general were called into question last year after the release of a linguistics study demonstrating how the country’s newspapers had severely distorted Colombians’ perception of reality.
