TeleSur? RussiaToday? VenezuelaAnalysis?

I have relatives in Venezuela. I get the lions share of the news firsthand.

If you actually followed the news in Venezuela, you would know that it has to import its gasoline, because it cannot refine its own oil. And it cannot import it because it has no cash. Nobody takes the Bolivar, and nobody takes Venezuelan credit, as it has recently defaulted on its loans.
