there's certainly a lot in the Argentine media that see straight through the fragrant Christinas antics - they know when someone is waving a big, fat worm at them in the hope that it'll divert attention from this weeks economic catstrophe or corruption scandal.
however, two issues: firstly its not the sceptical press that has control over the Argentine military, just as it wasn't the million(ish) people who marched in london in 2003 who got to decide if we invaded Iraq, and secondly the lower her ratings, and the more she's derided in the press for her transparent antics, the more desperate she'll become, and the more she'll be aware that if she were to pull it off, all her troubles would go away.
now, there may be lots of opposition and skepticism in Argentina right now, but the truth is that if she were to deliver the FI she'd be president for life. and she knows it.
