from Venezuela because the NYT reported it?

You say you "take a long hard look at anything I see from" the NYT, but you obviously don't take a hard look at all at reports from Telesur & Venezuelanalysis, two overtly biased (overtly state-funded) sources that you post from often, always in support of the former Chavez gov and current Venezuela gov. Don't you see that as a paradox for your credibility?

What about the other link, http://www.businessinsider.com/venezuela-has-deported-thousands-of-colombians-2015-4 ????
It's full of links to Spanish-language news sources.

Since you seem to focus on this region very specifically, how is it possible you hadn't even heard anything about this news before, as evidenced by your post #59? I am really curious about that.

Try again. The American media isn't even mentioned in the article. It just critisizes Human Rights Akicita May 2016 #33

"... the mainstream press publish articles and headlines based on HRW report conclusions." Scuba May 2016 #36
