@JoeDaPlumber what media? anything that criticizes against them are called biased! of course this documentary isn't, but that is only under your perspective and that is only your opinion, you just have to respect what people choose to see and think, something that these "democratic" leaders can't stand. In a true democrat mind, it is recognized that opposition represents an important roll for a state. Do you know how much money Evo spent in propaganda? I am from Bolivia and is ridiculous

[JoeDaPlumber]

@jcusss well aren't they democratic leaders? Yes, they do attack the opposition but the media still criticize them and give a biased view instead of being objective. They turn countries against leaders

[jcusss]

@JoeDaPlumber so you want to show Chavez to the rest of the world that he is a Saint? the only leaders that make exaggerated connotations about how democratic they are, are Chavez and Evo Morales, while criticism is something that they can't stand along with opposition. miss characterization occurs all over the world but that simply represent the freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Do you think they don't do the same think in their countries? how much propaganda these leaders invested also

[JoeDaPlumber]

@jcusss because of the widespread ignorance in the United States. Example: the deportation of illegals (while it is commendable that the protect their borders) they forget why these ppl are there in the first place. Also the mischaracterization of Chavez as an enemy gives a false impression which leads to more hate on both sides and money being funneled there for illicit purposes such as overthrows.

[jcusss]

@JoeDaPlumber and why they must? I think they have enough problems so far. I don't understand why they have to know about our problems if it is not their obligation to solve them. The only think this person is helping is the demagogy all these leaders are carrying along. Completely biased and simplistic way to recreate what has happened in Latin America

[JoeDaPlumber]

@jcusss yeah that he is. But as someone who is a product and has lived through what Mr Stone is showing gringos, he's right. Gringos have no idea what is going on in Latin America and probably don't even know where Venezuela is. I sincerely doubt they understand Commandant Chavez's fiery rhetoric or Fidel's undying stubborness.

[jcusss]

@JoeDaPlumber luckily I don't watch them =)

Mr Stone is just another person that own private jets, and he just wants to show off a little bit of false morals he has for the world. Respect my hairy balls, he has done nothing but to show deceiving and demagogue truth
