The Venezuelans overwhelmingly approve of the Chavez government and say that there is no loss of civil rights. Why are we getting such warped news stories about Chavez from the "tame" press?

It doesn't matter how popular Chavez is with the people, it is his popularity with the US government backers/ funders/ influencers, that matters. Rupert Murdoch is one of the main ones.
