You're welcome. And thank you.
Yes, it is interesting but it sounds slanted in one direction without any corroboration or opposing views.

The article starts out with a relative statement in favor of one of our own past presidents statements, Jimmy Carter, claiming he witnessed an election favoring Carter's statement. In which he then goes into a litany of many aspects of claims and oppressive tactics used by governments and the opposition party there, giving a measured opinion why one would find reason to pause to each.
(But you never hear the voices of these poor people in the U.S. press. You never hear their side of the story, how they have benefitted from the Bolivarian Revolution and how desperately they do not want to go back to how things were before.)
As you stated, we also do not get both sides to the story from our MSM, as he made clear towards the end of the article. At least he added what they, the MSM, do give you with a rebuttal of reasoning to give you a chance to develop an opinion for yourself to find a plausible reason to pause. We don't get that from our MSM. We only get what they want you to think.
And then he finishes off with the ultimate reasoning why you only get that from our MSM and government. In which our history has much evidence of, and still growing!
(While they have been given a voice in Venezuela, it remains muzzled in this country, and by a press which passes off pro-intervention and pro-war propaganda as journalism. It is no wonder the United States continues to careen into one disastrous military adventure after another.)
