Coverage of Venezuela has been scanty from what I have seen in the American BS media.

Sliding? That ship sailed a long time ago. Sailed, hit the iceberg of corruption and sank in the sea of stupidity, you know the same course that captain ahabobama is steering America.

But Maduro is now threatening to expel CNN, which is about the fairest and most balanced news source on the planet. Yeah, I stopped reading right there.

I thought Cuba was the left’s darling. Or was that El Salvador? Or Vietnam? Or North Korea? Or East Germany? Or the USSR? I get my worker’s paradises mixed up.

Churchill was being too kind about socialism, the ruling classes tend to do very well for themselves financially...

CNN, the fairest, most balanced, ...if you have a left nut for a brain. Things must be bad when CNN can’t find a way to cheer lead for radical left thugs. The toilet paper rebellion has grown into rioting on the streets and wholesale crime, and people still can’t get a decent piece of paper to wipe with.

Yeah, I stopped reading right there.
I didn't think you were one of those folks who find a single error and stop reading. How much have you seen of reporting on Venezuela?
