Venezualan election: same story - three perspectives

Ahhh, what a wonderful place the internet is. Venezuala is set to vote in Presidential elections. CNN, Fox and Al-Jazeera obviously are all carrying the story each with a different perspective. It just goes to show you that:

1) You can't believe everything you hear, see or read;
2) The culture (country, religion, political bias, customs etc.) that a reporter or editor is immersed in determines largely the slant on the news;
3) Just like any other television show, the news programs will pander to there audience;
4) We have a responsibility to ourselves to seek out information from multiple sources and make our informed judgements - the alternative is letting someone else do it for you.
