OHHHH sure...move there and see how you will like it!

Other countries and other media channels are reporting exactly the same things and they aren't listening to Fox News to report their news...if you think they do, than you really believe in fairy tales and probable still believe this POTUS hope and change and getting your gas tank filled for free...

What Chavez does on the world stage is for the benefit of his own political agenda in his country. Unless he has complete state run media in his country, he has to still put on a show so, the media can report about it to the citizens of Venezula. If and when he has complete control over the media, there won't be any need for him to do that any more.

Odd, considering Stone's own ethnic background. (His father changed the name of the family from "Stein" to "Stone")

It's safe to say Stone's certifiably nuts, although he is a great director when he's NOT doing documentaries.

BTW Stone's collaborator on "South Of The Border" was Indian-born UK Trotskyite historian, Tariq Ali, a buddy of Chavez, which might explain some of the biases.

Nobody needs to watch fox news to know Chavez is a maniac.
And, he's a fatso, too!

MSNBC and CNN are reporting negative information about Chavez. You don't have to be a right winger to disapprove of Chavez. The Colombian socialist parties despise Hugo and have for years.
