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

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.

"Huh? Wha hoppen?"

[ozzymandus]

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.

Coming soon to a banana republic near you.

CNN fair and balanced? HUH?

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.

Venezuela blogs show that this has gotten very ugly

I laughed so friggin hard my teeth fell out!!
CNN leans so far to the left that they are horizontal! Never met a socialist or left winger they did not like. If they are out of favor you know things are going to hell in Venezuela!

Don't cry for me Venezuela!!!!

I stopped reading right there because thanks to Fox News -- the fairest and most balanced news source on the planet -- and elsewhere (for example 1 | 2 | 3), I can appreciate that CNN's reporting is a crock.

Statements like that italicised above cause me to question young Master Stanley's assessment as being not nearly bleak enough.

Nothing to worry about. 0bama will send the communist dictatorship our hard-earned money.

Really? The author also seems to be longing for the good old days when Chavez was in charge.

This, comrades, is how every experiment in Marxism ends.
