Reblogged from The Devil's Excrement:
You have to give it to the Chavistas, they are masters at manipulating public opinion and the media. They denounce a Bs. 40,000 cash donation by a Bolivarian contractor to a Capriles supporter and sooner than you can say "Concha 'e mango", everyone starts slipping on it from the press, to social media to blogs.
I mean, this is the country where a Deputy asked where US$ 19 billion went and nothing happened.
Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.The article focuses quite well on matters Venezuelan. This article on media "leanings" toward el Presidente Chávez reminds me that although in the United States we have similar media "leanings" toward President Obama, it is worse in Venezuela.
