I don't have time to listen to the stories to find the answer to your questions, but something to keep in mind is that "balanced" reporting does not mean (or, at least, should not mean) giving all points of view equal time. Some points of view are more credible than others, and part of a journalist's job is discerning what things have a basis in the facts and what things don't have enough evidence to report. Even if the possibility that the CIA orchestrated the situation in Venezuela is credible, I don't want to hear it being reported unless they have credible sources for the claims. (Keep in mind that I have not read about these claims, so maybe there are credible source. My point is simply that seeming reasonable and being credible are two different things.)
