pen, venezuelanalysis is hugo's propaganda rag for years....anyone telling you differently is blowing smoke up your skirt...he created the thing!

i have noticed in recent months their stories seem to be "less" obviously biased than they once were...

imo, the best "balanced" paper in ven is el universal....the best local papers (for our purposes) are correo and el diario (imo they both tend to lean toward hugo...maybe out of fear)...

i never said they were all bananaheads.....just hugo and his many "mirrored sunglasses" following ....

if canada is "socialist", i can dig it.... i love the place and the way it's run..

..if venezuela is what "socialism" means....then imo, socialism is a pretty suck form of government...
