With the eyes of the world on the brutal crackdown on dissent in Venezuela, the regime of Nicolas Maduro decided to try to take a few of those eyes out of action.

Is Hussein going to put Joe Biden in charge of that situation too?
They should have confiscated the reporter, too.
Trade the cameras and crap for Piers Morgan.
The last sentence from the story ...
“What kind of liberty involves seizing cameras at gunpoint from foreign journalists?”
Answer:
The same kind of liberty where news that is unfavorable about the gov’t is suppressed.
The same kind of liberty where a sitting governor proclaims that a large group of people have no place in “his” state.
The same kind of liberty where the ruling “elite” proclaim that the laws don’t apply to them and can change them on a whim.
Etc. etc. etc. .....
I think most of the American MSM could use a little attitude adjustment time in a Venezuelan jail, ... and all the Brits.
CNN should start seizing some busses and give Mad moustache a taste of his own meds.
Send in Tom Harkin...
He might as well run for president while he’s down there.
lol
I doubt if either of CNN’s viewers were really that upset. Coyote Blitzer couldn’t report it because he was changing his panties after wetting them watching Ted Nugent’s pro-American/anti-communist tirade.

“we need to draw a line in the sand to prevent them from going after MSNBC !” - Obama /s

Ven blogs commented thay CNN Espaniol ran a 25 minute Maduro speech while totally not giving a second to oppo views
yup, guess they don't understand the concept of don't bite the hand that fees you...
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving network.
...exactly what I was thinking...
Friend of mine told me tonight that 60,000 elite cuban troops are in or on way to Venezuela. Hope this is wrong, but suspect the number is large.
Expect email tomorrow with more details.
Nothing is moving on this in the media from what I have been told.
