What's really happening in Venezuela? Reporting on coup attempt from inside Caracas w/ Diego Sequera
Here's an hour from a different point of view--Max Blumenthal, Ben Norton, and a Venezuelan reporter who strikes me as pretty smart.
Now, even though they're generally on "my side," Max and Ben sometimes mirror the position-rigidity of their adversaries. It's tempting to counter total, simplistic bullshit with simplified reality, but it should be avoided.

Try to find reporting on what he found. Here's the report, by the way.
