Disinformation still clouds the US debate on Chávez's legacy in Venezuela

1. The wikileaks revelations gave a perfect picture of why this propaganda against Venezuela

continues, led by the US. They are so afraid of anyone who puts their country first and is unwilling to give away its resources to Big Corps. Even more, as was stated in those interesting leaks, Chavez' huge popularity, or rather the popularity of his policies that have worked to restore sovereignty to many Latin American countries after years of brutal, Western supported Dictatorships, 'is a threat to OUR interests'.

He was smart enough to not just focus on Venezuela to keep those criminal elements out of the region, he worked with other countries in Latin America and a generation has now been raised that understands its history and the constant threat from Western Corporations.

It is that influence that, according to the Wikileaks cables, is a huge threat to the US's former influence in Latin America.

What is interesting though is that despite all their efforts, they have failed. If people learned one thing over the past decade, it is that no one can trust the Western Media, and they don't.

With the emergence of real media, real facts have managed to get out to the people making the work of the propagandists, like the NYT, much more difficult than it used to be.
