The media in Latin America are characterized by an extremely high level of market concentration, resulting in the representation of a narrow set of perspectives. Movements that would challenge the hegemony of the dominant social classes are portrayed as dangerous and reckless. The election of "bad left" governments with strong majorities through the very representative institutions that those in the media claim to defend has created a dilemma for those who oppose social change. Unable to discredit the results of the elections, the private media have sought to attack the legitimacy of these governments from below by framing their supporters as mindless followers or as dangerous, irrational mobs. All of this highlights the fact that the current structure of the media in Latin America denies individuals from the lower strata the right to be heard and, more generally, denies the public the right to the information pluralism that is required for democracy to function. Los medios de comunicación en América Latina se caracterizan por su alto nivel de concentración en el mercado, lo cual resulta en la representación de una estrecha gama de perspectivas. A los movimientos que desafían la hegemonía de las clases sociales dominantes se les pinta de peligrosos e imprudentes. La elección de gobiernos de "mala izquierda" con fuertes mayorías, por medio de las mismas instituciones representativas que los de los medios declaran defender, ha creado un dilema para los que se oponen al cambio social. Incapaces de desacreditar los resultados de las elecciones, los medios privados han intentado atacar la legitimidad de estos gobiernos tachando a sus partidarios de seguidores ciegos o turbas irracionales y peligrosas. Todo esto pone en relieve el hecho de que la estructura actual de los medios en América Latina niega a las personas de bajo estrato el derecho a ser escuchadas, y, más generalmente, se le niega al público el derecho al pluralismo informativo que se requiere para que funcione una democracia
