Shameless Media Pumps Bogus Anti Chavez Propaganda
It's all over the news that 7-11 stores have dropped Citgo gas and will sell their own brand instead. It appears 7-11 made that decision and told Citgo 2 months ago in a business decision, but you wouldn't know it from the blaring headlines today:
ABC - 7-Eleven drops Citgo gasoline after Chavez comment
Forbes - 7-Eleven Drops Citgo, Cites Chavez Comments
Reuters - 7-Eleven drops Citgo gasoline; cites Chavez speech
NPR - 7-11 Drops Citgo, Citing Ties to Venezuela's Chavez
Press Enterprise - 7-Eleven drops gas supplier after anti-Bush comments
All Headline News - Citing Chavez Speech, 7-Eleven Drops Citgo Gasoline
A lot of these stories contain the truth that the blistering speech by Chavez at the UN several days ago wasn't involved in the marketing decision, but the spinmeisters want you to think otherwise.

Exactly what I would expect from 7-11, lies.
Hard to think that anything else but a breathless news blurb by 7-11 would prompt this orgy of disinformation.
