    "CNN told the world what we all now know is an absolute lie":
    No they didnt.

    Footage Contradicts U.S. Claim That Nicolás Maduro Burned Aid Convoy

    Don't give the Times too much credit. They reported this 3 weeks later. It was known immediately that it was Guaidó supporters who started the fire.

    The Times had to report this because of the existence of video footage.

    Obviously Dirty Donald supporters much prefer to believe Russia Television.And a guy shopping in a super market that could be in Miami Beach or Atlanta.

    Something about that well stocked Government store makes me pause and express my curiosity.

    Well stocked and yet one man was there? A store like that would be flooded with customers.

    Where were the great customers of that well stocked store? The rest one can't prove. Maduro is being mallined? I mean does the poster truly support Maduro and defend the man?

    Why cant both narratives be true? The store that was shown was probably a prop for the cameras in order to hide how bad the situation is. At the same time, those trucks were burned by Guiado supporters to put more international pressure on Maduro.

    I think this poster is the same person as destroyer of illusions. That paid troll went quiet and this one showed up.
    I think these guys have a bunch of member accounts that they roatate to spread Russian propaganda.

    Were food that plentiful in Venezuela, the world would know. It would not take an empty market but super well stocked to create propaganda./ This is trying to make maduro seem heroic

    I suspect it’s Maduro, or his brother in spirit.

    I'm favorably impressed that NYT actually printed the truth on this matter. Uncharacteristic behavior for NYT.

    This is gibberish. RT and the journalist from the grocery store got this story right the first time btw. Not the commercial news.

    It only took them 3 weeks and video footage being passed around on the net for them to do do so. They reported the lie as fact as well. With the video footage, they just couldn't keep repeating it. On the same day, it was known to be a lie.

    Flasback. Widely reported as legit. All day every day for months.

    Media collaboration? Is this the same media which routinely and consistently
    condemns Donald Trump? The same media which presents a liberal view of
    the world? The same media which is feted by Hamas and shows staged shots
    of burning tires and kids jumping around?

    Donald Trump is not the permanent state. They don't like him because of his rethoric. He puts the ugly face on US policies unlike Obama.
