Chomsky on Guardian/Observer "deceptive" version
Posted by The Editors on July 3, 2011, 4:29 pm

 From Chomsky:

"The Guardian/Observer version, as I anticipated, is quite deceptive. The
report in the NY Times is considerably more honest. Both omit much of
relevance that I stressed throughout, including the fact that criticisms
from the US government or anyone who supports its actions can hardly be
taken seriously, considering Washington’s far worse record without any of
the real concerns that Venezuela faces, the Manning case for one, which is
much worse than Judge Afiuni’s. And much else."
