What Venezuela needs, PR wise, is Zimbabwe’s Cathy Buckle.
Cathy stayed in Zimbabwe throughout the Mugabe takeover, sympathizing with white suppression and empty grocery stores, trying to polish the country’s image. AFAIK, she’s still there, doing the useful idiot’s work. Here’s a clip from her latest letter (May 6, 2016).
“The day that Zimbabweans have been most dreading for the last eight years, arrived this week. Zimbabwe is going to start printing money again.”
Walter Duranty worked for the New York Times in the Soviet Union where he lied about the atrocities being committed in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
