Borev explains:"To recap: Newsweek published a story about Venezuela attempting to overthrow a foreign government, and the author now admits he never had any evidence of such a plot, but that he came up with the story after analyzing a comment that Castro made about a baseball tournament. This is all fair journalism though because it is entertaining.
"Naturally, Foreign Policy (who praised the story) is not only owned by Newsweek, it's run by the former Venezuelan government official generally held responsible for the country's worst human rights disaster in modern history."
