PRO STATE NEWS AGENCIES

[this a note I received in reply to my “scaling up” post]
AP is carrying an article today. Apparently yesterday Chavez made reference to imposing martial law to keep the public safe. Not that I believe it, but the AP article tends to paint the opposition forces as largely responsible.
So, in a nutshell, the chavista's violence during marches will escalate allowing Chavez to declare martial law. The opposition needs to get it's propaganda machine running. Possibly change tactics to numerous small sit-ins instead of massive marches. I don’t know about Europe or Australia, but the US media is decidedly 'pro-state'.
