Peace Journalism [2] brought to us this week a post about the political polarization on the Internet and citizen-information Venezuelan blogs [3]. Relentlessly optimistic the young journalist says:

thanks to the majority being prone toward dialogue, bigger and better spaces for tolerance, inclusion, or at least acknowledging (…) of the other are being built.

Just two days ago, the counter-information machine that is Enigmas Express [4] criticized English language blogs on Venezuelan politics, regarding them as subliminal warfare [5]. The mythic Khandika was responding to a post regarding VCrisis [6], Venezuela News and Views [7], The Devil´s Excrement [8], Caracas’ Chronicles [9] and PBMcomments [10] as the Venezuelan political blogosphere vanguard [11].

Today, a popular Venezuelan newspaper, Últimas Noticias [12] published a full page ad in which those very same blogs are accused of being part of an Anglo-Venezuelan conspiracy against Chávez´government.

The reactions from the bloggers involved:

Anglo-Venezuelan Connection Unite! [13]

Open Threat [14]

NAOR Never [15]
