Another Pro Chavez Piece of Nonsense,
By
This review is from: Venezuela: What Dictatorship? What Dictator?: A pragmatic view to the Chávez's controversy (Paperback)
Just from reading the introduction, it is obvious where the author's sympathies lie. He cites Eva Gollinger, who is a notorious Chavez sympathizer and is routinely paid by the Venezuelan government to write pro Chavez propaganda and appear on pro Chavez media. In addition he claims that "99 percent" of the Venezuelan media is controlled by the "opposition." This assertion in 2010 is quite laughable. RCTV was removed from the airwaves (even from cable) and the head of Globovision was arrested recently for repeating facts from a report about the emergence of the drug trade in Venezuela. In addition, President Chavez since assuming the presidency in 1999, has used "cadenas" for literally thousands of hours in order to spew his propaganda. Even the most ardent Chavez supporter is angered by his constant interruptions of regular programming to discuss such important topics as a bout of diarrhea. What you are seeing now is what Chavez is really about. His democratic credentials were always suspect and since now he longer has money to buy votes, he will simply do what any other "dictator" does, force people to vote for him through fear.
