After the coup that briefly removed Hugo Chávez from power in 2002, a couple of Irish filmmakers, who supposedly stumbled upon the events, created a ‘documentary’ that captured those fateful days. The ‘documentary,’ misleadingly titled The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, won awards everywhere, and Kim Bartley and Donacha O’Brian, its producers, were thrust into Chavez’s limelight. This success never would have happened without the support of the BBC and other European broadcasters, as it was later revealed that the timeline of events was altered to fit a specific, utterly misleading narrative. In essence, it was pure propaganda. Nevertheless, the film and its creators enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame. Now compare that to the latest propaganda effort, produced without the BBC by Venezuela’s official channel (Venezolana de Televisión), concocting a story in an attempt to accuse, presumably of treason and sedition, the RCTV journalist Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, for allegedly making public calls for a military exit to free Venezuela from Hugo Chavez.
