Here is what you do not understand:

1) The successful Ukrainian revolution is anti-communist. Therefore, the international press reports upon this revolt.

2) The successful Venezuelan state-sponsored repression is pro-communist. Therefore, the international press ignores this repression.

I had a simpler formulation, Laz. Ukrainians are basically white, Venezuelans are basically brown. The media has never given two craps about brown people (unless they can be exploited against evil conservatives), and probably never will.

And what makes you think I did not understand? This is exactly the point. The blogger even mentions the Fox that, we thought, should know better.

Your first statement is wrong. The Ukraine uprising is anti-Russian, not anti-communist. The revolutionaries are socialists and, if they gain control, they will impose a socialist system on Ukraine. They are not free market people.
