“Journalism often functions as propaganda. The difference is that State propaganda at least openly acknowledges that it is propaganda. When a journalist publishes an article, people think it's journalism. I even see journalists defending the idea that journalism must have an agenda”.

The concept of agenda-setting is an aberrant one, yet it’s the first thing they teach you when you start studying journalism.
In these years, I’ve often criticized Bukele, but in this part of the interview published by Time, I must admit that he’s simply spot-on.
