Rafa criticizes US ambassador for participating in World Freedom of Press day

[Bacchus4.0]

sponsored by the National Union of Journalist. Rafa called the US ambassador's participation indelicate and intervening.

Rafa also had this gem about the press, "“Hoy en día no puede creerse nada de lo que escriben los periódicos (...) Un hombre que jamás mira un periódico estará mejor informado que quienes lo leen”.



"Today you can't believe anything that journalists write. The man who never looks at a newspaper is better informed than those who read them"

Spoken like a true chavista.
