The linked article is touted there as a news story, but the article is more of a low-rent op-ed piece, full of speculation and a pronounced tone of self-righteous indignation.
Here are excerpts from two more of the sites so-called news stories:
http://www.axcessnews.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=8988Trouble in Marxist Paradise: Protesters Take to Streets in Venezuela
(AXcess News) New York - Protesters in Venezuela are taking to the streets by the thousands in anger over the recovery of the bodies of three boys kidnapped on their way to school. However, don't expect to read or hear about it in the US news media. There's trouble in President Hugo Chavez's Marxist utopia and it's not a pretty sight for his leftist cheerleaders in the US and Europe.
Police wearing riot gear fired tear gas at demonstrators blocking a road as thousands of marchers brought Caracas traffic to a standstill while demanding justice, according to video from the BBC.
After the protests, the capital's mayor said he was replacing the chief of police with an army brigadier general, which probably means the government will use more force when dealing with demonstrators, reports the BBC.

In fact, recently, he <Chavez> called on the impoverished masses to rise up and forcibly seize property and money from those better off. His slow purge of the middle class leaves professionals, business owners and shopkeepers facing the hostility of the poor whom the Marxist leader has encouraged in an effort to keep a majority of voters who are poor voting for him in future elections.
Chavez has been actively and routinely encouraging hatred for those who have, among those who have not. A tactic he shares with leftists in the United States. Only in Hugo's case, his people take his words to mean "permission to use violence."

http://www.axcessnews.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=8986Hispanic Group Blasts Sen. Reid for Obstructing Real Immigration Reform
(AXcess News) New York - In a stunning political flip-flop Minority Leader Harry Reid uses a parliamentary procedure to crush debate on a reasonable immigration bill which appeared headed for bi-partisan success, according to officials with the Hispanic Alliance for Progress.
The Hispanic group is blasting Senator Reid for his blocking debate on the amendments to the immigration bill which one day earlier, seemingly, had the support of the US Senate.
In what appears to be a purely political attempt to sabotage debate on a reasonable and comprehensive immigration bill, Minority Leader Reid is leaving Washington, DC today for a Senate recess rather than allow the compromise bill to pass the Senate, claims chairman Manual Lujan.
"Senator Reid stunned all participants in the immigration reform movement by blocking fellow Senators from considering additional
amendments to the bill, all in an obvious attempt to sabotage any success; it appears the Senator prefers the US House to lead this debate," said Lujan

The Hispanic Alliance for Progress Institute (HAPI), a national Hispanic advocacy and policy organization Chaired by Manuel Lujan, former 20 year Member of Congress (R-NM) and Cabinet Secretary calls on Senator Reid to stay in Washington, continue discussions, and solve the issue at hand, rather than stifle fellow Senator's comments, amendments, and debate.
