Another big scoop for TeleSur, the mouthpiece of Chavismo. Epic fail. Again.

RT Has Capitol Hill Credentials Revoked
30 November 2017

The media outlet, which has often been critical of the U.S. government, had its Capitol press credentials revoked after a series of restricting measures imposed on it by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Executive Committee of the Congressional Radio & Television Correspondents' Galleries informed RT America that their press credentials for the U.S. Capitol had been revoked in a unanimous vote following a Department of Justice decision to force the station to register as a ‘foreign agent.’

Among those who voted for revoking the outlet’s press credentials were Craig Caplan, Walter Cronkite, Mariam Khan, Paul Courson, and Jacqueline Policastro.

Walter Cronkite died July 17, 2009, in New York City

TeleSur and RussiaToday have a joint agreement in regards to "making" news worthy of their Stalinist world view.

I'd like to read your take on how history remembers Stalin. Because the world certainly knows how RussiaToday, Sputnik and TeleSur remembers the "good old days".
