The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime. Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

What’s very interesting is this has the hallmarks of the Egyptian Revolution when they outed the Muslim Brotherhood Dictator Morsey....There were several of us here on FR covering that before the news did...and throughout.So we’ll see.....
Hopefully the demorats and their thugs will quiet down before it ever turns into something like this...even if they tried the push back would be fierce by all of us.
