Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Pretty awesome article with links on the history of western media propaganda and outright lies and support of multiple coup attempts on Maduro.

Good article, but just want to mention it's from a little over a year ago.

Because most of these issues have been going on for years, Biden wasn’t very far off when he said nothing would fundamentally change but here we are almost 4 years laters

Edit : I saw that too but it is still extremely relevant as we watch the elections unfold

Oh, I totally agree, I mean it reads like it was just written yesterday.

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought this was going to be some commentary in response to the recent election that I've seen articles say might be bad for the in power socialist party.

But all the information I've seen so far has been from the NY Times, which is obviously is a bit biased, so it'd be nice to see other sources talk about Venezuela, too.

Yeah, for sure. So did I and, aside from a few things that kinda made me second guess, I didn't realize it was a year old until after I finished.

Still a good article! Wish all the Chavistas well!
