Press TV and Zimbabwe

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2008-03-31 - 23:57:44


Taking into account the election campaign in Zimbabwe, the Alvarez Galloso News Hour [El Noticiero Alvarez Galloso] has decided to reissue an article it wrote about the Press TV Coverage of the Zimbabwe Situation. The article was previously published on the 25th of July 2007.

Press TV Journalist Yvonne Ridley dedicated a segment in "The Agenda" to Zimbabwe and Mugabe. Among the people interviewed were A Representative for MDC [Movement for Democratic Change] from Great Britain and Ireland; Mr. Julius Sal Mutyambiza-Dewa, Stephan Chen who is Professor of the School of Oriental and African Studies, and Wilf Mbanga; Editor of The Zimbabwean.

Ms. Ridley stated in "The Agenda" that an official from the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe refused an invitation to appear in the programme to explain the position of Mugabe.

The subject was whether Mugabe was a liberator or a tyrant. The response from Dr. Chen was both. The Independent Journalist and the MDC Representative for the UK and Ireland stated that Mugabe was a tyrant.

There were comments about how Mugabe has created conditions for either a violent revolution or civil war. The three interviewees agreed that South Africa has the leverage to force change but does not want to since South African President Mbeki supports Mugabe.

The interviewees also agreed that Mugabe is using the nationalist card for his own ends and that there is a general dismay at the situation in Zimbabwe. Press TV also interviewed a group of demonstrators in the Zimbabwean Embassy in London.

Ms. Ridley added that investors are lining up into Zimbabwe, the response of Mr. Mbanga was that opportunists can make money even in unstable times. Mr. Mbanga struck a chord since we have the same situation in the American Continent in terms of opportunists and speculators.

Ms. Ridley also asked the question of what would happen if MDC was accused of "sell out". The response of Mr. Sal Mutyambuza-Dewa was the need for global trade, term limits, and transparency in a governmen with separation of powers.

Another invitation was a Human Rights Activist who talked about radio and TV with sanctions against the ruling class. In this part, there is disagreement on the part of the underwriter since there are blogs such as the ones existing in blog.co.uk, short wave radio stations like SW Africa FM.

After seeing "The Agenda" on Press TV, many conclusions have to be drawn.

Press TV and Ms. Yvonne Ridley have done their homework concerning Zimbabwe. Press TV has done a coverage of Zimbabwe at the same par as the BBC, RNW [Radio Netherlands], CBC/RCI [Canada], and CRI [China]. This type of special in depth coverage does not exist in the "Mainstream Media" of the USA except for PBS [Public Broadcasting Service]. Press TV deserves a 100% for their report.

Mugabe is nothing more than a tyrant with a desire to maintain power at any cost. Mugabe is willing to sacrifice Zimbabwe por his personal gain and could care less about the hyoerinflation, lack of basic necessities. Mugabe is creating a replica of North Korea as Ark-888 has said.

FC DALLAS 1-1 CHIVAS USA

FC DALLAS 1-1 CHIVAS USA

The first game of Chivas USA against FC Dallas took place in Pizza Hut Park at Frisco Texas and before an audience of 17,540. The game itself was broadcast live by Telefutura TV.

FC Dallas started the game with possession of the ball and the game with the first goal by Toja with the assistance of Thompson and Rhine at 21 minutes. In spite of bookings and substitutions in both sides, FC Dallas continued to take advantage of the lack of discipline, tenacity, and fortitude of the Chivas USA. Chivas USA was the most affected by the bookings with Nagamura, Galindo, and Thomas being on the receiving ends but continued to hold their own until Maykel Galindo surprised the audience at Frisco, Texas with an equalizer at 84 minutes. It was within the last six minutes that Chivas USA was able to hold off FC Dallas in an attempt to maintain a draw.

While both teams are just starting the MLS Season, it is important that Chivas USA continue to practice and reinforce the discipline, tenacity, and fortitude that has helped it in the past. Chivas USA has the possibility of winning the MLS Cup but it cannot lose or draw any games. Maykel Galindo has helped Chivas USA but the team should not always depend on an immediate rescue from him. Chivas USA has to work as a team and that means other team players must play the role of protagonist in future games. The first game of the MLS between Chivas USA and FC Dallas should be a wake up call for Chivas USA.

Regardless, Maykel Galindo deserves to be named player of the game for his relentless and forceful plays that kept Chivas USA from being defeated. Again, this is not surprising since Maykel Galindo was once a star in the Cuban Football [Soccer] Team and has brought miraculous wonders to the game in the United States since his arrival in the United States of America and Chivas USA. My best wishes for Maykel Galindo and Chivas USA in their attempts to win the MLS Cup.

FC Dallas 1-1 Chivas USA

FC Dallas: 5/10
Chivas USA: 5/10
