the documentary was bias, example was when when they talked about RCTV, they failed to mention that the network was encouraging the coup, and the strikes that later tried to overthrow the government of chavez. Any network here the US that would try to attemp this would be tried for treason

How "bias" was it when they interviewed the very people who brought Chavez to power that he turned against for criticizing him?

I dont think you can seriously see that footage and blame it all on 'spin'.

He definitely has a superinflated notion of his own importance and he is obviously trying to position himself as a Christ-like figure, and he will use any and all means to achieve that goal.

You could be right, but they misreported the RCTV incident.

So i found out that the so call reporter Rory Carroll from the guardian that shows up in the documentary, reported on an email that links Chavez to the FARC. Turns out no such emails exist. The laptop the supposed email was in was never confirmed by a third party when he wrote his article. Wow, what a reporter!
