Wikipedia cites 'latin-american.news', a two-year-old domain with a global website rank of 10,989,423. For comparison, 'thelaundryspot.com', the official website of a laundromat in Austin, TX, has a global rank of 8,737,785.

This might as well be a sourced from the Wikipedia admin's blog.

edit: Lol, in the last hour, the awful source was removed and the ridiculous quote removed. The wiki now reads:

"When questioned on the topic of selling children, Milei initially responded ambiguously [womp womp] but later clarified his opposition, stating, "Obviously, I do not agree with the sale of children.""

Just getting asked such nonsense is indicative of a media trying to paint a narrative.

The next level of such nonsense would be framing it like, “Do you think both parents should have a say in the sale of children?” or “Would your universal flat tax on the sale of livestock apply to the sale of children?”.

But you are aware, there are anarchocapitalists that would allow selling children? So even if that quote is wrong(so far I have not found the original radio interview confirming or negating it), it is not a weird question(especially given his other statements). And the answer could just be "no". No narrative painting in my point of view. But I lack the original transcript.
