Recently Carmen Aristegui has been all over the news in Mexico but not how she would like to be.
Carmen Aristegui, Mexico’s most famous radio personality, was fired earlier this month, It was not expected for the simple fact that she is Mexico's top rated radio personnel. So now that she is gone her fans react to it and they are not taking it lightly at all. As long as she is not back the anger will increase and for sure is effecting the government and political areas of the country.
This topic is so serious even people that do not like her contect are taking concern to this problem. Although they dont agree with her style they know she is simply one of the only journalist that challenge the authorites. She if very fearless and that is needed in this field of work. The way she works must have a reason on the execution of her job.
Accroding to a post i read on nytimes.com, "Many journalists contend that Ms. Aristegui’s case is part of a broader attempt by the government to check aggressive news coverage."
People see her success and may try and follow how hard she works at exposing the government. This country is a democracy pleading that they give freedom of speech but this is not what is happening. The government are hiding things illegal that they are doing so, and the fact that they see some as powerful as Carmen they are trying to make an example. This will do nothing but make them look bad. When elections come up this will be remembered.
