Venezuela's government pulled CNN in Spanish from the nation's airwaves on Wednesday, shutting off the news channel after officials angrily criticized a report alleging the country's diplomats sold passports to members of a Middle East terror group.

Communist propaganda is communist propaganda in any language, but watching a communist shut up another communist is mildly enjoyable, I guess.

Actually,, Venezuela’s friendship with Iran and Muslim terrorists is old news. CNN is late to the game.

I wish the US would do the same thing for their slanderous lies. I am so sick of seeing their monopoly of airports. Chicago Ohare is the worst.

President Trump weighed in on Venezuela yesterday meeting Lillian Tintori, the wife of jailed opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez, at the White House.

The POTUS had his picture taken with her along with VP Pence. Marco Rubio is by their side. Trump posted it on Twitter.

He called for the release of Lopez from prison.

Hunger strife has also been going on there for awhile now with little news coverage. I guess reporting the truth might hurt socialism’s image.
