Wow. The Venezuela/Chavez recall was a big story yesterday - now gone?

Checked Yahoo, CNN & Faux News, but Chavez' victory didn't merit a single headline. After looking to find the story, the headline is always "Chavez CLAIMS Victory", not "Chavez Victorious" - connotation being that he cheated.

If he had been recalled, you think it would have said "Chavez opponents CLAIM Victory" or "Chavez recalled"?

I'm not a big Chavez supporter, but the US media & gov't's bias against the guy is pretty obvious.

What part of "self-determination" is it that right-wingers don't understand?

And why is this such a non-story all of a sudden?
