Ethel the Blog has this to say about the report that Hugo Chavez refers to the Venezeulan media as nasty poopy heads, big dumb dorks, and occasionally even putas.
A CPJ report on Venezuela tells us how problems have "escalated" in Venezuela under Chavez, i.e. the physical attacks against journalists under previous presidents have "escalated" to Chavez calling the opposition, which includes the media, names. This is very, very serious, but I don't think another coup attempt is called for until Chavez resorts to dramatic irony or sarcasm. But if that vicious bastard uses litotes, then there's no other rational choice than an immediate invasion.
Chavez does spar with the media, who are unanimously aligned against him, but strangely they haven't been shut down or shot yet.
