Correo del Orinoco's report on people celebrating carnival instead of demonstrating when the protest stated. Eva Golinger's newspaper, funded by the Venezuelan government, trying to convince people that no one is going to the protests... with a 2 year old picture. .

The Minister of Tourism, again trying to convince the publilc opinion that nobody is interested in protesting. Instead, he shows how the beaches are full of people... with a 5 year old picture!

1. Lets not forget Diosdado and his pics of paint ball guns and the chavista bobos

complain about anonymous twitter postings while the head of the national assembly and the president lie every time they speak.

2. Another example of the government media manipulating images and making up false stories

3. The claim about the picture with the running family seems false..

The website that describes the picture as "Una familia trata de escapar de las bombas lacrimógenas" is not the Reuters site, but the Peruvian site "El Comercio". Reuters, the original source of the picture, does describe it as "Workers of the housing ministry leave the building after anti-government supporters set it on fire in Caracas"
