President Javier Milei once again attacked the press and media outlets, calling them "serial liars and ignorant." This time, he targeted television host Luis Novaresio, who was on air speaking with the president of the student center for Economics at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), ahead of a student march demanding more funding for the government.
"ARGENTINE JOURNALISM (95%). Here's an ignorant journalist explaining the Gini coefficient. First of all, if you want to teach, you should know what you're talking about," Milei wrote on his X account about the coefficient, a statistical measure used to quantify income inequality in the population.

President Javier Milei once again attacked journalism and the media, calling them "serial liars and ignorant." This time, he targeted television host Luis Novaresio, who was on air talking with the president of the student center for Economics at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), ahead of a student march demanding more funding for the government. "ARGENTINE JOURNALISM (95%). Here's an ignorant journalist explaining the Gini coefficient. First of all, if he wants to teach, he should know what he's talking about," Milei wrote on his X account about the coefficient, a statistical measure used to quantify income inequality in the population. He then added: "The indicator he mentioned is the Rawlsian one (best against worst). This is derived from Rawls' postulate that well-being is determined by the well-being of the most disadvantaged group in society." "Secondly, the Gini coefficient is an index of concentration and represents the difference between the observed distribution and the one that would result from perfect equality. Therefore, a Gini coefficient of zero implies perfect equality, and one implies perfect inequality." After providing his definition, the President continued his attacks on journalism: "Ultimately, journalists (95%) are not only serial liars and ignorant, but they are also arrogant, pretending to teach about things they don't know. THEY ARE DISGUSTING (95%)." As a closing remark, he targeted the host: "In Novaresio's favor, at least he admits to being ignorant. That's why it's incomprehensible that he would try to teach about a topic he doesn't understand." News in development.
