President Nicolás Maduro has expelled CNN after accusing the international news outlet of “manipulating” information about Venezuela.
Maduro said Sunday he wants CNN “outside” Venezuela after he claimed the news channel manipulated information about a student’s complaint regarding the lack of food at school.
“Some media like CNN tried to manipulate information,” he said. “They can not manipulate information like that, it’s our affair, of Venezuelans. CNN does not need to put its nose in Venezuela … I want CNN well away from here.”

But but but Venezuela is a socialist paradise. /s
No, actually not much different. You are proposing what commies do.
Even the Marxists recognize they have no use for fake news.
Bwahahahahahaha.....
You are a concern ninny, IMO... we differ
They reported the truth for once, knowing full well that they would be kicked out.
Its a feeble attempt to get back their credibility.
It’s not working.
Snip:
“Last week, a student demanded on national television that the president improve the conditions of his school, asking for security, infrastructure and food so his classmates wouldn’t faint from hunger anymore.”
Seems to me that if students are passing out from hunger, they’re not going to be sitting around in school.
A suggestion: CNN should hire Sean Penn. That’s the ticket!
He might even be available to teach in schools and work for Meduro
I’m only concerned that Americans would think that America should do what Venezuela does because CNN reporting is on par with tabloid reporting.
We do differ.
CNN has been good on its VZ reporting, for some reason. They just did a report that had been a year in preparation on how the Venezuelans, who have “embassies” all over the ME, sell visas to Middle Easterners and even change their Arabic names to Hispanic ones for them. I’m surprised that report got so little coverage. CNN did it, and they’re no friends of Trump, so you’d think the report would get a little more respect; but I guess it doesn’t because it proves Trump’s point.
Maduro let CNN in in the first place only because of CNN’s well known modus operandi of faking the news.
Let that be a lesson to you, CNN. When you peddle fake news 24/7, the one time you decide to report real news, you will be accused of the fake news you have been reporting 24/7.
That’s why we have a Republic Nation, instead of a Dictator, we get freedom of speech, they don’t...
Thank goodness for President Trump!!!
A dispute among commies.
That is a very good point. I didn’t realize that in anywhere but the west children showed up at school expecting to be fed.
What no hangings?
the guy is a thug. we should be careful before we cheer on thugs.
Yes this guy is a thug...and yes CNN probably reported the truth on the subject...BUT CNN brought this on themselves...they have lied so many times that no one, including another country, doesn’t believe them and doesn’t want them around...what a novel idea!!!
If only the US could do this......sigh.....
*****
“LOCK THEM OUT!”
“LOCK THEM OUT!”
“LOCK THEM OUT!”
Of course the irony is that in Venezuela a story about a food shortage was probably true.
Tough to try to figure out which of the ideologically-driven liars is lying / has lied in this particular case.
