			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In his latest "Dispatch from the Bolivarian Revolution", blogger Eric Wingerter (<strong>BoRev.net</strong>, <a href="http://www.borev.net/2009/07/heres_an_interesting_question.html" target="_blank">7/18/09</a>) asks, "Man oh man, how bad does <strong>AP</strong> reporting have to get before a group of Latin American studies professors from top U.S. universities decides they need to take out a FULL-PAGE <a href="http://www.borev.net/assets_c/2009/07/CJRad.html" target="_blank">AD</a> in the <strong>Columbia Journalism Review</strong> to respond?"</p>
<p>His answer is "Bad bad"--as illustrated in the ad's text:</p>
<blockquote><p>The <strong>Associated Press</strong> has breached basic journalistic principles with these false reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>[Hugo] Chávez initially suggested the synagogue attack might have been carried out by Jews eager to portray his government as anti-Semitic.</p></blockquote>
<p>—<strong>AP</strong> February 8, 2009</p>
<blockquote><p>Only five months after urging world leaders to back their armed struggle, he [Chávez] said that armed guerrilla movements are "history."</p></blockquote>
<p>—<strong>AP</strong> June 10, 2008</p>
<p>THESE STATEMENTS ARE FALSE, and on both occasions, the <strong>AP</strong> has admitted that they are false.</p></blockquote>
<p><!--preview-break--><br />
Saying that Chávez "never called on anyone to support the armed struggle of the FARC—rather, he had called on the <a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3374">FARC</a> to abandon armed struggle," the ad goes on to explain how, "<a href="http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/07/09/on-disingenuous-reports-of-anti-semitic-chavismo/">far from</a> blaming Jews from an attack on a synagogue, he denounced the attack as anti-Semitic and took prompt action to find and arrest the attackers."</p>
<p>See the FAIR magazine <strong>Extra!:</strong> "Corrupt Data: Taking On the Claim that Chávez Is On the Take" (<a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3431">11–12/06</a>) by Gregory Wilpert.</p>
<p>Also listen to letter signatory NYU history professor Greg Grandin on FAIR's radio show <strong>CounterSpin:</strong> "Greg Grandin on Honduras Coup" (<a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3835">7/3/09</a>).</p>
