4. thanks, .. and I'll second you on Narconews.com
Edited on Sun Aug-17-03 06:44 PM by eablair3
narconews.com is a really good source for alternative info coming out of south and central america. One of the person's behind the site is Al Giordano. I've heard him interviewed on Flashpoints radio show many times. There is always more to the story it seems. Giordano has left little unsaid about the establishment reporter Juan ? (can't remember his last name) that works for the NY Times. That reporter recently did a piece for "Frontline/World" on PBS. Because I had heard about the guy's bias from Giordano, I really watched his report on PBS about Venezuela with a critical eye. I concluded after watching recent Frontline show that Juan was indeed very biased as Giordano had claimed. Giordano claimed that Juan Torres (i think that was his name) was biased against Chavez and in favor of the business interests opposing Chavez. It seemed that way to me.

The radio show that has Giordano on regularly is at
http://www.flashpoints.net

They have an archive there, and you might be able to still listen to some of Giordano's audio reports and interviews online. He doesn't hold back. found %3BGFNT%3Accff99%3BLC%3A660000%3BLH%3A61%3BBGC%3Acc6600%3BAH%3Acenter%3BVLC%3A660000%3BGL%3A2%3BGALT%3Affff33%3BAWFID%3A75b02c38f399b153%3B&domains=www.flashpoints.net&sitesearch=www.flashpoints.net">some of em by a searching here


sorry for the diversion.

thanks for heads up on the PBS program Coca and the Congressman. My local PBS stations don't have the Wide Angle series on the schedule. Sucks.
