i don't get it.

venezuela is a sovereign country.
their president was democratically elected.
his recall was overwhelmingly rejected by the citizens.

A good movie to watch is "the revolution will not be televised"

Among other things, shows clearly how camera angles and journalistic...."license" can be used to not merely report the news, but to create the news.

Why report what's happened, when you can make the happenings go the way you want them to?
