Ok, this sentence is proof enough.

>Actually, your point was that the US media was not telling the fact that Chavez was democratically elected. I, through the US media, did know that Chavez was democratically elected.

My point was that though Chavez was democratically elected, "We were sending informal, subtle signals that we don't like this guy.", and the mainstream media followed suit depicting him as just another dictator.

>What 2 reporters and what dairy story are you talking about?

It's hard to do a search on "Fox news" in this conference. I'm pretty sure I read the story here, and maybe elsewhere before that. I even had the names of the reporters.

I obviously hadn't planned for a dispute of this kind, or I would have triple-checked everything I read in the last ten years and would have kept bookmarks on everything (at least from credible sources).

Tough luck - you and I are paying to publish here, and he gets paid.

I knew it. Hook, line and rod. Could you at least once do me a favor and surprise me?
