Right-wing Venezuelan protesters terrorizing country

The right wing protesters in Venezuela who are working in the interests of the CIA and US imperialism have made a disgusting, horrifying move to firebomb the headquarters of a housing project that is giving millions of impoverished Venezuelans subsidized housing through the funding of Venezuela's nationalized oil industry! The protesters also went far enough to firebomb a pre-school with children aged 6 months to 3 years old inside. This is disgusting and cannot be tolerated! Stand against US imperialism in Venezuela!

Does this mean the article isn't true? It's not a biased publication, right-wing terrorists actually firebombed a housing project headquarters and a pre-school with hundreds of people inside.

source. Like Fox News, CNN, Yahoo News - you know the kind of source these guys use.

On the other hand, if you could find an article on Venezuelanalysis that criticizes socialism or Maduro, then they will suddenly become credible.

Venezuela Analysis has such close ties to the Maduro government as to make is an unofficial organ of state propaganda. It's the Fox News of Venezuela. Anything they report needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt at a minimum. BTW, has this ever been reported in any other news outlet?

9. Yes...

You can't just lie about something as serious as fire-bombing a pre-school and the headquarters for the government's housing projects...that's so ridiculous. But, here's a source Liberals might like.

Translates to: Any source whose very existence depends on one of the 6 corporations that control US media and have money embezzled in the government for the interests of the wealthy elite.

13. And what sources are those?

All MSM in America is tied to the American government.

And, I gave you another reliable source anyway. There are actual photos and evidence of this happening, you can't just lie about people firebombing a pre-school and headquarters for a housing project with nearly 1,000 people in both.

You can't just lie about something to the extent of the firebombings that happened.
