60 Minutes Lost
in Translation
President Chavez's
Censored F-Word
CounterPunch
Bulletin
Here's a clip from "60 Minutes",
which aired on May 12, 2002. Correspondent Steve Kroft interviews
President Chavez of Venezuela.
KROFT:
Do you like the United States? There are many things that you
don't like about the United States, I think.
CHAVEZ:
No. Me gustan los Estado Unidos. Disfruto las poemas de Walt
Whitman. New York, New York, la cancion....Frank Sinatra. Me
gusta beisbol, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, el hot dog, la libertad.
VOICE OF TRANSLATOR: No. I do like the United States... I enjoy the
poems of Walt Whitman, "New York, New York" the song,
Frank Sinatra. I love baseball, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium,
hot dogs.
[edited out: la libertad / "the
freedom"]
Earlier in the piece Kroft asked the
elected president of Venezuela to respond to this: There are
people who have suggested that you are somewhat "loco".
And to a member of the elites interviewed
to "balance" the report, Kroft asked: Do you believe
he's a communist?
Imagine a Venezuelan correspondent interviewing
President G. Bush.
Interviewer:
Do you like Venezuela? There are many things that you don't like
about Venezuela, I think.
Bush:
I like Venezuela a lot. Especially Carnaval. Cucaracha, I mean.
Laura and I hope to go there some day.
Translator:
Me gusta Venezuela.
Interviewer:
Some people have suggested that you are somewhat estupido...
