CNN Former Host to Work with Venezuela's Opposition

CNN Former Host to Work with Venezuela's Opposition
Published 20 September 2014

The journalist visited Venezuela earlier this year to cover the violent actions by the Venezuelan right wing opposition.

Mexican journalist Fernando del Rincon, who until yesterday was a host for CNN in Spanish, has been appointed as press director of San Cristobal municipality and advisor of the separatist movements of Tachira in Venezuela, the Tachira governor Jose Vielma Mora posted on Twitter on Saturday.

While Vielma is a member of the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela, the mayor of San Cristobal city is an opposition leader. Patricia de Ceballos, the mayor, is the wife of Daniel Ceballos, the previous mayor, who was found guilty of disobeying a High Court order to remove violent barricades by the opposition, and for instigating violence.

"Fernando Del Rincon was the spokesperson for the terrorist and manipulative information by the international press about the “guarimbas” in Venezuela,” said Vielma, referring to the violent protests carried out by the opposition in the South American country.

Del Rincon visited Venezuela earlier this year to cover the violent events promoted by the Venezuelan right wing. He also covered the municipal election in San Cristobal, when Patricia de Ceballos was elected.

At least use a more credible source next time. If you keep going back to the same bs-spewing sites, nobody's gonna care about what you say.

That's what we recognize as propaganda.
