March of the trolls

Firstly, Tinelli was right on just one point — there was nothing spontaneous about the reaction to his criticisms of the president, which was clearly the work of trolls. This raises the emergence of the social networks as key political players.

President Mauricio Macri and TV host Marcelo Tinelli sought to put an end to their burgeoning political dispute yesterday with a one on one meeting at the Olivos presidential residence, from which they emerged all smiles.

On Sunday Macri told La Nación that Tinelli should be able to cope with some 30,000 Twitter users mocking him and that he had been satirized “in a bad way” by Showmatch programme. Tinelli in turn had accused the government of using trolls to attack him and raised the ante on his highly-rated show that draws millions on a nightly basis.

A snap moment for Macri
Quote:
 
It is difficult to identify a turning-point when you first see it, as they only reveal their critical nature later on. This week’s meeting between President Macri and TV host Marcelo Tinelli felt like something important even if it is technically a rather silly photo-op. But only time will tell whether it might mean a hinge moment for the good or for the bad for a president whose government is still trying to find a political identity.
