NP, I don't pay much attention to FT. They do have some nice coverage of Venezuela that I run across from time to time.

Which I am surprised that more sources of information is not used on this forum.

On another forum I listed all the places I like to visit, but can no longer find the post.

Helen you already made me smile. Thanks.
Venezuelanalysis is a rag for Hugo.
I have read enough to know that it is not a serious news outlet IMHO. Just an excuse publisher for Hugo.

But thanks for the heads up on what they think about the FT. I don't see any specific article that I used recently but I mostly have read some about the financial things going on in Venezuela, like the Nationalization, Central Bank policies and the like. Stuff that is pretty hard to lie about. I also get information from a variety of blogs/news outlets that confirm what the FT may be saying.

Unfortunately most of my posts are in the premium sections of Thom's forum.

Even if government sponsored Venezuelanalysis seems to be fact based unlike the FT.

I wrote a few diaries here on ET about MSM disinformation campaign on Venezuela, FT and WaPo are the worst offenders with virtually fact-free articles running for years.

I have no tie with Venezuela, I started looking into it during the coups because after reading a few MSM articles (in France and on the web) it was obvious that what the MSM were reporting at the time could not possibly be true (not even remotely passing common sense check).

If you want to be informed about Venezuela, I suggest starting by this blog:

http://oilwars.blogspot.com/

It is pro-Chavez, but provides documented arguments (links, photocopy of press, TV extracts, etc...), so again it is fact based unlike FT & others.
