Never underestimate the ability of the Trump admin to manipulate the media. I seriously doubt complicity at the editorial level from either organization. It makes no sense.
I wouldn't go so far but they do lie to support certain agendas no matter who is the President.So, I'm supposed to swallow the conspiracy theory that CNN & NYT are in cahoots with the Trump admin? What planet is this, anyway?
I fucking love you liberal snowflakes.
Trump says "FAAAAAAAAKE NEWS!".... you say "It's real liberal news! He is trying to absolve himself! Treason! Lying! Throw him in prison!"
Trump says "Venezuela is a shithole, we stand-behind a democracy there, etc..." You say: FAKE NEWS!
Oh the irony. Pointing out your own leftist extremities without any help. What a fucking retard.

They quietly changed this report after more than a day. I see 2 choices here, either the reporters are too dumb to know the truth, or they deliberately mislead. On further thought, they have to be dumb in both cases as nowadays it's pretty impossible to hide this for long. Pre social media, then yes. Everything in the blue is false. The election was last year, Guaido was not the opposition leader as there are many political parties with their own leaders and finally, Guaido did not even run in the election.
I wouldn't only say Americans, I think most people are in the same boat. What a depressing thought. Governments tell the truth, was it ever true?I think they have shitty or compromised reporters in Venezuela. It's also important to remember that the anti- Chavez/Maduro headset is something a lot of Americans wear w/o understanding it at all. We don't really know shit about Venezuela other than what the MSM says & that's mostly what our govt told them was true.

Losing it, huh?

As usual, no retort when your hypocrisy is pointed out.
Typical liberal cuck.

CNN, etc, is very popular in my country, and in spite of seeing with their own eyes, some still repeat the same points. What I told one friend who believes as I do is don't confront but just ask questions.
Have you seen any sick or malnourished refugees, for example. It's amazing to see as they try to reconcile their own eyes with the US MSM news. Besides the basically economic refugees, we have a lot more who come here to purchase items and return. The government here recently allowed the resident ones ID cards and the freedom to work legally. I plan on hiring some next year, each from a different family, as this issue with Venezuela will last a very long time.
I have to add the ugly underbelly. Some of the beautiful young women are being exploited and the criminal elements from Venezuela are starting to appear. Parasites always attracted to their food.
I was right the first time. I mean, you know, a staged media event isn't much of a coup no matter how much Bolton & Pompeo say it is. Now they're starting to go on about military intervention. John Bolton never met a problem he couldn't solve by putting a whole shitpile of ordnance on it.
So Trump supporters see FOX as not part of the MSM and trust them fully? Real question. When I criticize MSM, I mean all the big names, including such as FOX, BBC, etc.I had typed out a longer response to one of your earlier posts but can't bother doing that again right now. I just want to point out though that the way you keep talking about MSM, well its a dogwhistle to right wingers, especially of the dumber, conspiracy minded sort (that often tend to be let's say, they rather like white Christmases, and every other day as well). Just keep that in mind (as you seem to not be American so as you're talking about the disconnect between American media and Venezuela, you might try and recognize you too have a disconnect between cultures that, I'll be honest, I think is doing the same thing you're complaining about but in the opposite direction where you're enabling the people you are taking issue with by effectively supporting one of their central claims for why they're being the way they are but notably why they're raging about and choosing to ignore stuff like facts as opposed to what they want to believe).
Meanwhile the Maduro regime is doing their own fair share of looting, I guess they're trying to catch up with Guaido. I personally don't care what form of government the country has (if they want Chavista style socialism go for it) but it is sad they'll be reduced to a Haiti level economy before long and may never recover.

What a bullshit article. Venezuela sells gold for liquidity, for foreign exchange buying power. They're hugely dependent on trade & Bolivars have little value. The fact that US sanctions are designed to keep them from getting what they need in the world market doesn't dent your consciousness in the slightest.
I'm fine with them selling all the nation's gold to enrich themselves. The sooner Venezuela hits rock bottom and the remaining populace reduced to $1/day poverty the sooner something better can rise from the ashes. Everyone but Maduro and his cronies will be eating rocks for dinner like in North Korea, but you'll be happy because "income inequality" will be low since no one has any money and there are no rich people.
Project more.

Well, Trump would be the one to know about being a puppet for someone..."Maduro is not a Venezuelan patriot," Trump said in a speech earlier this year. "He is a Cuban puppet."
