It never varies, either.

Of course, we can easily throw the Wall Street Journal in there, and almost everything from the New York Times, unfortunately. The Times had to can three rabid anti-Chavista writers Juan Forero, Simon Romero, and Francisco Toro. Francisco Toro admits his hatred of Hugo Chavez, always identified with the Venezuelan oligarchs, and started his own anti-Chavez, now anti-Maduro hate sheet, "Caracas Chronicles."

A lot of journalists fall into the class war trap by living in the wealthy environments in the countries where they work, among other professionals, identify with them, and NEVER have a glimmering of what life is like for the vast majority of suffering, shunned, indigenous, or African-descended, or working class citizens. Grotesque.

Thank you, so much, sinkingfeeling. There's a lot to sift through with the Washington Post, as it's point of view hasn't changed in decades regarding movements to improve the wellbeing of the masses. Glad you have taken the time to avoid swallowing it.
