My friend, I know my english is not that good and I apologize for that. If you want me to I can translate my previous post to spanish.
As for the press in the "former spanish colony" if that`s meant to be offensive (shall we refer to England as te former french britain? or the US as the former british colony?) it`s clearly private owned.
Just like in Britain or in the states the press happens to have economic interests which makes them act in -again- "weird ways". You might remember this:
"But beneath Murdoch's public meltdown lies a bigger problem, and it’s not confined to England... It’s about what happens when media corporations get too cozy with power — and government officials fail to challenge them."

It`s the press!! That`s all there is to this topic. Why is The Sun printing these fake-news... just beats me. I can assure you that`s not because it is seeking the truth. It`s more likely "modeling a truth" creating a "common sense" that forces the G`ment to act in ways that go beyond my capacity of speculation.
I wonder if it has something to do with this:
