Chaves to recieve journalism award?

    I was carousing the web for some blog worthy news when i came across this nugget: "Argentina's University of La Plata was giving [Hugo Chaves] its Rodolfo Walsh Prize on Tuesday 'for his unquestionable and authentic commitment' to giving people without a voice access to the airwaves and newspapers."  Surely you can't be serious (and dont call me Shirley).  Venezuela is a notoriously communist country that controls 99% of all the media outlets and forces anyone who disagrees with them off TV or Radio.  I pray for journalists everywhere that this was just an early April fools joke.
