Venezuela looks to S.American leaders as toll hits 20

46. I suppose there are a small number of non-RWers joining in the protests,

but these protests consist of a very miniscule percentage of the Venezuelan population.

I've yet to find any credible sources that describe any of these protests as specifically having more than 20,000 people, and, generally, not all of those on the side of the opposition, some being pro-government protesters countering the RW protests.. Some sources describe the number as "tens of thousands", but none that I have found specifically describe the number as more than 20,000

Yeh, things are not perfect anywhere, and Venezuela does have some extreme problems worth complaining about.

As does the US.

The first Occupy protest to receive widespread attention was Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park, which began on 17 September 2011. By 9 October, Occupy protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 951 cities across 82 countries, and over 600 communities in the United States.

For perspective, most of the false impressions about the protests in Venezuela are being deliberately created by the same 1% owned RW MSM that deliberately helped Bush gain public support for his invasion of Iraq.

I generally don't buy their bullshit on important world events in which the 1% has a pack of hungry dogs in the hunt, unless I get several corroborating outside sources that back up the information they present.

And if anyone wants serious people to believe what they say, they should never release a bunch of photoshopped and/or irrelevant photos to make their case.

If they deliberately lie once, they will continue to deliberately lie. If they need to deliberately lie to make their case, their case is bogus.

Lies and deception are the native tongues of the right wing and their propaganda spokespersons.
