Remember Stalin’s airbrushed photos, reflecting who was purged and who was in favor? The trend seems to be beginning in Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s political propaganda these days.

Venezuelan blogger Miguel has come up with a classic blog expose about crowd pictures in Hugo Chavez’s propaganda. All of the people in the crowds are phony repeat images. He has the photos with diagrammed lines showing the ridiculous fakery. So much for Chavez being a popular guy, he can’t even get a crowd together to illustrate his own propaganda!
