On October 7, 2012, Hugo Chávez was comfortably reelected president of Venezuela. Just days before the vote, the impression given by major international print media was that it would be close, an assessment that proved to be at best optimistic. Western media coverage of the election in Venezuela was designed to skew the result toward the opposition, and this effort singularly failed. The "propaganda model" advanced by Herman and Chomsky is now faltering in the Americas, and the region is acting in a manner that is increasingly free of influence from the United States. Venezuela thus stands as a case of the citizenry actively and independently asserting its political agency despite clear attempts to redirect its thinking and decision making. El 7 de octubre de 2012, Hugo Chávez fue cómodamente reelegido presidente de Venezuela. Justo antes de las elecciones, los principales medios periodísticos internacionales daban por sentado que la votación iba a ser cerrada, una apreciación que resultó ser en el mejor de los casos optimista. La cobertura de las elecciones en Venezuela por parte de los medios occidentales estaba diseñada para sesgar los resultados a favor de la oposición, un esfuerzo que fracasó rotundamente. El "modelo de propaganda" propuesto por Herman y Chomsky está tambaleándose en las Américas, y la región está actuando de una manera cada vez más libre de la influencia de los Estados Unidos. Venezuela, por lo tanto, se erige como un ejemplo de un grupo de ciudadanos que de forma activa e independiente reafirma su voluntad política a pesar de unos claros intentos por desviar su pensamiento y su poder de decisión
