Expecting some changes in domestic policy and media coverage.

For example, Tiempo Argentino (the goverment paper) has changed his editorial towards Bergoglio.

Where would Der Spiegel be right-wing then? In Uganda? In India? In Bolivia?

That's what I'm talking about. Horacio Verbitsky is the star journalist of Página 12, the most rabid pseudo independent pro-government newspaper of Buenos Aires. He's definitely a respected journalist and investigator, but in the past years he has developed a biased stance that turned him into a conspicuous apologist of the Kirchner team.

Still, it has been proved that many bishops in Argentina blatantly supported the military junta, but it hasn't been proved that Bergoglio was one of them. You should give him the benefit of the doubt.
