Fatal Accident in Flores: 2 People Dead, and a Bolivian

Here's a prime example of the quality investigative journalism from my favorite source for all news Argentina, Cronica TV (click for past segments). For those of you who don't speak Spanish, the headline reads: FATAL ACCIDENT IN FLORES (neighborhood in BA) TWO PEOPLE DEAD, AND A BOLIVIAN. Now correct me if I'm wrong, and maybe this is a stupid question, but wouldn't that make it 3 people dead?

If you think this may be a SNL-like spoof, you have been mistaken! This is a prime example of the format and content of the headlines... it's like one completely politically incorrect person got together with all their despicable sleazeball counterparts and said, "We gotta start a news channel!" And they did.

Crónica TV

My all time favorite channel, Crónica TV, is a 24/7 "news" channel that never fails to entertain. It's like Fox News teamed up with TMZ and the Jerry Springer Show to broadcast the latest breaking news complete with theme songs, racist jokes, inappropriate sound effects, graphic footage of accidents and of course, lots of partially nude females.

My favorite segment is "Estallo el Verano" where reporters go to popular summer hot spots in Argentina and interview the sunbathers asking them the most crucial questions like if they use sunscreen.





Here's another great example of how Cronica TV investigates the important issues. For those who don't speak Spanish, this is the gist of what's going on: The story is about how Chinese people are catching birds in the park and selling them. The reporter asks investigative questions like "Do you eat the birds?"



Finally, the last one I found is a bit bloody so I don't recommend this for those who have a weak stomach. Briefly, man on motorcycle gets in an accident, breaks his neck along with several other body parts, but still is able to give a full interview while lying on his back in the middle of the street.
