Dear Editor: Open letter to the Head of Reporters Without Borders

Dear Monsieur Menard,  Shame on you for the previous treatment you gave Nicolas Rivera. Shame on you for hiding your real mission, that is "freedom of the press" for Mainstream Media's obedient servants and screw alternative journalists.

<a href=www.vheadline.com>The only angle that I can agree with you is about the Venezuelan government being responsible for all the attacks on opposition journalists by Venezuelan pro-government citizens.

Said government must however immediately be absolved from responsibility, since if it had to face a Venezuelan opposition as opposed to the Global Corporate Mafia, otherwise it would have responsibly done what any other government would have done ... your own, Monsieur Menard, among the very first: throw the coupsters, their press boss friends and their journo-lackeys into the can where they belong and throw away the key.

This would have saved the citizenry from trying to take the law in their own hands, for lack of government action. And you know damn well, Monsieur Menard (if you don't, you should resign your job for incompetence), that had the Venezuelan government done what it was elected by its people to do, Mr. Shapiro would have called in the Marines within the hour.

Now, Monsieur Menard another border you and RWB also seem to be without is that of elementary decency in noticing the ridiculously low material and physical damage that occurred to the opposition media martyrs at the hand of the "Chavista Hordes" compared to what happened (or still happens) the other way around.

I just hope, Monsieur Menard, that RWB's budget can afford to have you shaved by a barber so you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror. Is the same good conscience that makes your site devoid of a contact e-mail address?

Not that you respond to incoming mail, at least not to mine!

Have a bad day, Monsieur Menard, you deserve it.

PS. I don't pick on you for being who you are ... that's you bad luck. What sucks is WHERE you are, which puts you on the same moral level as a pedophile educator.
