Venezuela VP criticizes 'manipulations' in reports on recent conversations with US officials

1. They are absolutely correct at least as far as the BBC interviews

I've heard, which are disgusting and clearly intended to put over false information while making Chavez sound like a tin-pot dictator. They call up and badger Venezuelan officials with the same slanted questions over and over, then replay the exchanges every half hour on BBC World, which runs several hours a day on NPR outlets. I only listen in the car and I'm not in my car all that much so it's clearly a full-court press, and a vicious and repulsive one. About par for BBC though.
