25JUN2003 HUGO CHAVEZ IS CRAZY!
Well, actually, he's not. How the American media distorted events in Venezuela beyond all recognition is clear to one who reported from there. [MORE - Greg Palast and AlterNet] 09DEC2002 From somewhere in a country called America Ed. note: www.narconews.com is linking to the online Spanish-language magazine Rebelion. Along with Heinz Dieterich Steffan, they offering a very different and insightful view of developments in Venezuela. Al Giordano has no tolerance for reporting other than his own. He blasts nearly everyone, even his friends, for the crime of linking to an AP story that he thinks is flawed. Danny "The News Dissector" Schechter (one of the accused) nonetheless says Al's work is important not only in his angle of vision but in its challenge to mainstream media. Also check Globalvision's new crisis news capsule (www.gvnews.net) and subscribe. The desperate maneuver by U.S. President George W. Bush - his cynical call for "early elections" in Venezuela, a country that has had six national elections in the past four years Ð has backfired after it was revealed as unconstitutional. Read also, about the machinations within the Organization of American States, as NarcoNews names the names of which countries' leaders have lined up with the coup plotters, which have been strongest for democracy, and which have broken from the United States position in recent hours. 21DEC2002 Update: SF Indiamedia Interview with Al Giordano. 20DEC2002 AG note: Has the news from Venezuela in your local newspaper, radio or TV newscasts left you with any better understanding of the conflict there today than you had 16 days ago? If the answer is "no," the blame squarely lies with AP - the Associated Press. And today we give you the tools to help do something about it. The 5,000 U.S. radio and television stations and the 1,700 U.S. newspapers who use AP's reports - joined by 8,500 newspaper, radio and television in 121 countries overseas that repeat them - have left the citizens of the United States and other countries with a false view of a "General Strike" that has neither been general nor a strike. Narco News Associate Publisher Dan Feder reports: "The constant 'ratcheting up' of the conflict Ð the 'strike' is always portrayed as bigger, better, growing, escalating, getting more tense, etcetera Ð is a tired technique of yellow journalism, and has historic motives in the goal of selling newspapers. But specific to the Venezuela conflict, this spin has a dangerous echo in the remarks of one side of the conflict: the Venezuelan opposition, United States officials, and 'mediator' Cesar Gaviria, who also keep shouting that the situation is 'escalating' when the only thing that escalates about these 'strikers' is their own rhetoric." Feder continues: "Announcements that the opposition is 'growing' Ð whether made by its own leaders or foreign interests, usually correspond to increasing desperation among the leaders rather than any increase in public support for the strike: While the opposition movement doubles in size and strength every day in the fantasy world created for AP correspondents, in the real world stores are now open again, the government has removed the disruptive management of the state oil company, and other Latin American nations have now put the brakes on U.S. efforts to make the Organization of American States the mechanism for foreign intervention..."
