4. Non credible source

Anything from Mark Cook and Greg Shupak are instantly non-credible. (frequent contributors to TeleSewer and VenezuelaAnalysis, mouthpieces for Chavismo, along with Paul Dobson, John Pilger, Mark Weisbrot, Max Blumenthal, Steve Ellner and the always reliable Joe Emersberger!)

But, for anyone who wants to see what the Chavista Kool-Aid drinkers have to say about what is going on in Venezuela BY VENEZUELANS, try this website:

Aporrea.org

It is a website devoted to all things Chavismo. Yet, despite the fact that they ADORE all things Chavez and Maduro, they also paint a bleak picture of desperation FAR DIFFERENT than what hacks Mark Cook and Greg Shupak from FAIR.org paint of idyllic Venezuela.

Aporrea certainly will never get accused of painting a "mainstream" picture of what is going on in Venezuela.

Unless Mark Cook and Greg Shupak think that Venezuelan communists and socialists are lying too?
