How sprawling is the global media conspiracy-of-lies against choir-boy Gaddafi’s regime?
So sprawling, even Telesur’s correspondent in Eastern Libya is in on it.
“Authentic journalist” Reed Lindsay’s pink slip in five…four…three…
The Book
In praise of Blogging the Revolution
“Caracas Chronicles has been an indispensable source of lucidity and perspective in these turbulent times in Venezuela. Toro and Nagel have been right on target, without pretending to be ludicrously impartial; they have been able to rise above polarization, trying hard to make sense of an often implausible reality. Blogging the Revolution shows them at their best. If you are not already a fan, you will become one.”
- Francisco J. Monaldi, RFK Visiting Professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Director, Center on Energy at IESA in Caracas.Recent Comments

How long until Izarra disowns him and calls him a pawn of the empire?
I’d feel bad for the miserable sod if it wasn’t because the salary he’s been leeching for years and years ought to have been paying for schools, roads, hospitals and jail cells in Venezuela instead.
True dat!
“Authentic Journalism”? Are these people for real? They’re just as bad as the so called big media. Everyone caters to their own interest, or to quote House: “Everyone Lies”.
I was surprised to see Blanca Eekhout there. I probably shouldn’t have been.
And yeah, everytime that prick Giordano mentions his “School of Authentic Journalism” my eyes roll out of their sockets.
I give this guy some credit. “Everyone lies”, but he is actually reporting what he sees in Libya. He knows it contradicts the policy Chavez has been following, and presumably he knows his employer is the Pravda of the South. Yet he goes ahead and talks about war crimes committed by Ghaddafi.
Would you have preferred that they send Eva Gollinger?
I’ll give him a break when he performs one hour of community service cooking and serving lunch to prisoners in a Venezuelan jail for every minute he spent on the air disinforming-for-cash.
Probably residual catholicism, but I think the guy has to expiate.
Francisco,
I will give him a break in return for full public allocution, spilling the beans on exactly how the system in Telasur works explaining with names, dates, and places, the pressures put on the “journalists” to produce the “news” with the spin dictated by their political masters.
I’d suggest starting to cultivate this guy right now. He’s coming in from the Dark Side. You might just get some real info out of him.
“I’ll give him a break when he performs one hour of community service cooking and serving lunch to prisoners in a Venezuelan jail for every minute he spent on the air disinforming-for-cash.”
If that applies to all Venezuelan reporters who “disinformed-for-cash” every Venezuelan prisoner will soon have their own personal servant.
Better for cash than for lack of scruples.

The guy worked for COHA in DC and for the “Narco News school of authentic journalism,” both organizations that appear to be stuck in a 1970s “is socialism an alternative?” time warp. Added to that is the fact that he works for Telesur, about as far from “authentic journalism” as you can get. No, he deserves to atone for his sins, preferably in the manner described by Francisco.
I would prefer the guy simply disown his employer, give a few mea-culpas and work towards correcting all the mis-information garbage he’s been spewing all this time.
totally Ad hominem and not the point, but I thought my Spanish sucked…
