It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and the leftist hagiography around him. That said, I think the hysterical right-wing demonization of Chavez is excessive, irrational and probably only serves to bolster the image of the caudillo.
Given that the mainstream US media rarely offers a fair coverage to AMERICAN left-wingers who are far more reasonable than Chavez (think Ralph Nader), I was fairly surprised to see that a shockingly nuanced look at the regime in Caracas ran in none other than The Houston Chronicle.
