Recipe for polarization
1. Make otherwise sensible people talk about the death of Chávez.
2. Use the courts to pick on the opposition’s leaders and slowly take away their rights.
3. Poke Globovisión in the eye.
4. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Keep this up, and you ensure there is no space in the news cycle to discuss actual proposals, no vision for an alternative, no hope for the future.
The clock may not say so, but we’re still stuck in 2002.

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
