I saw somewhere that three network anchors all resigned on one night recently... But that another executive was kidnapped, maybe by government operators. Is this that?

Yes, I suspect this is work of the Pro Commie Government “Collectivos” as they are called.

What I read today said the government had agreed to meet with the opposition and possibly have the Vatican mediate on this.

Later I heard that the opposition opted out of the meeting. I suspect they did not trust the Commie Rats who run the Government with the help of their Cuban friends. (vermin)

I would sure like to see some of the U.S, news organs (CNN, Fox....) finally pick this story up and run with it. There’s big stuff happening in Venezuela and nobody... Nobody.... Is reporting it.

“I would sure like to see some of the U.S, news organs (CNN, Fox....) finally pick this story up and run with it. There’s big stuff happening in Venezuela and nobody... Nobody.... Is reporting it.”

In a lot of Latin American and South American countries, TVs are programmed to receive CNN, NBCBSABC but NOT Fox News. The populace only gets the gummint propaganda. Obviously, some hotel chains are also at fault. If you’re in a foreign hotel and it seems that Fox is not available, check the channel line-up by using the up/down arrow to go thru the entire number range - sometimes you WILL find Fox News.

People in the tens of thousands if not millions suffering personal tragedy in corrupt communist nations—??

Meet the new century, same as the old century.
