But Seriously…
While Danny Glover is busy acting as a member of the advisory board on the new Telesur network to give his support to the Chavez-backed channel, a highly predictable development surfaced. Apparently, they are seeking to link up with Al-Jazeera. Of course, according to the President of Telesur:
We launch Telesur with a clear goal to break this communication regime and present a vision, a voice which until now has been silenced. Telesur is an initiative against cultural imperialism.
Those touching sentiments, combined with the possible coupling with Al-Jazeera translate into an obvious, simple message: Anti-American propaganda.
In regard to the Telesur’s debut, Chavez has produced such gems as:
I am sure that Telesur will maintain its independence. Telesur will not depend on any government … it will be free to navigate in the waters of truth and contribute to the construction of a new world…
Yes, Hugo holds himself in very high regard. He constantly accuses Bush of trying to topple him. Of course, Bush has been too busy toppling other, more important dictators. Sorry Indio.
