The Real News talks with Danny Schechter, a former network TV producer and radio newscaster who has gained a reputation as “The News Dissector”. Schechter is editor and co-founder of Mediachannel.org and the author of several books. He has also produced and directed many TV specials and documentary films.
For more information on the differences between the Russian and Venezuelan election, check out this post I wrote on the 3rd.

To me, Chavez, despite his general buffoonery and megalomania, does have the gall to speak out openly against President Bush–and at a world forum. Thus, I often see him in terms of another Latin American leader, Che Guevera. Guevera is romanticized for the same things that are attractive for Chavez, with his admirers careful to gloss over the less-than-attractive bits about the character of both men.
Somehow Putin’s rhetoric and the behavior of Russia is disquieting rather than thrilling, perhaps because it seems more akin to totalitarian dystopia, a la 1984 then some sort of gloriously rebellious gesture.
