Oaxaca, one year aniversary of repression

One year from now violence raised from street demonstrations to open repression, selective kidnapings, and killings. Despite all evidence pointing to Ulises Ruiz in the first place and Calderon in the second, no important accions have been done. International media just don't want to know about this, I suppose it is uncomfortable to watch Oaxacans shouting against their government all the time.

Or perhaps it is not really something that goes ideologically with mass media. For example, next documentary from 'mal de ojo television'. Puts everything that has happened in Oaxaca into perspective. But not even mexican media seems to care about that, and only few commentators marginally mention about al the human rights violations that took and still take place in Oaxaca.



Of course there are priorities in bringing the news to the public, and those 'priorities' seems to be defined by editorialists within the media enterprises. One case in point is Venesuelan issue with rctv, a enterprise that openly called for the coup, and further for the assassination of Chavez. Despite all this, international media tend to present the no renovation of its licence to do business as a huge strike against liberty and human rights.



Interestingly, some people have already started to make some hard questions as for example by comparing US government with Chaves, New York councilman says that president Bush does worse (than Chavez),... when bush lied to the country to go to war in Iraq, millions went out to the streets, (compared with the few in Venezuela).

Bush does worse with the patriot act, which supposedly is designed to defend americans, but in reality gives absolute power to the governemnt. The big question here is WHY americans do not do anything about that. Did brainwahing techniques by the media function?

Maybe just look carefully a the video (when it remains some 1:48 mins to end), in which the reporter in the ground shows not only that he is, and by far, politically biased, but more importantly that he is an intolerant facist,.. just put attention how he actually insults the councilman by calling him 'that son of a bitch'. Of course he though his voice was off,...

Later, fox news needed some little help form its friends,... and put through a congressman, republican of course, to try and silence such unconfortable voice. In the end, that republican only did what is business as usual for republicans: to lie. He came uo with that story of 'Chaves is a danger', further accused the councilman of being bought off and attempted to appeal to the public. what he got was that councilman stated clearly that Chavez is his hero not because he gives oil to Harlem, but because he (Chavez) is using Venezuelan oil to support the poor all over the world. Finally, 'you must stop in participating in white male suppremacy' said the counicilman to that Bush's boy.



I wonder, why fox news is so keen on having those news from Venezuela, and even uses untruthful events to support the idea of a dictator,... and on the other hand, in Oaxaca where there is an assassin governing, just doesn't care. Maybe the political alligneation is the unique criterion FOX news has.
