"Eric Wingerter is a freelance writer living in Washington, D.C. His blog, www.BoRev.net covers Venezuela and U.S. media coverage of Latin America"

5. thanks, undoubtedly he is now completely objective

he even has a "dubious sources" section that criticizes a former Ven. government official. imagine that!!! dubious sources indeed.

6. "Tu quoque," I say; for in your effort to discredit Borev, you yourself have made a false statement:

and so your style of criticism, by which you attempt to discredit someone based on his history, can equally be used against you

7. its just a blog by a "more than interested" party. nothing wrong with that

nothing wrong with disclosing the background of the blogger either. certainly not a news source though.
