There are many falsities in this article and the reporting in general on Venezuela. Source; I am a Venezuelan-American. The failures of the Venezuelan economy have been attributed to the Socialist practices of the country, which are blatantly false. The reason Venezuela has been running out of cash is the right-wing extremist facist government that put the country in an economic downturn in the first place. Granted, the current government has adopted socialist practices, many right-wing extremist groups have sprung out and terrorised supporters of socialism and caused issues in our country. Furthermore, the failures of the current socialist establishment have been exaggerated by the media. As most Americans are aware, Bernie Sanders has been running as the first popular socialist candidate of the United States. It is no mere co-incidence that the media has begun reporting on the failures of socialist regimes as soon as Bernie began his campaign. All these news stories of problems with Scandinavian and South American socialism have begun to emerge in the last 6-18 months. Don't believe me? Search it up for yourself, there were no complaints with these socialist economies until Bernie Sanders threatened the American establishment with a Marxist-Socialist revolution. I did some more digging into the article. The article is written by Linette Lopez from Business Insider on Finance Yahoo's website, sponsored by Reuters (News Agency). Linette Lopez is the senior finance correspondent for Business Insider, and seems to be the most vocal against Socialist Economies. Business Insider claims that Linette Lopez is a Venezuelan journalist who ran away from the abusive regime (in the article) but if you go back and search it up there is no record of this. The first search for her name shows up a twitter account and if you scroll back just a bit you will see one of her older tweets, praising the Venezuelan Socialist Regime. This article is essentially a shill. Further proof can be found in the fact that Business Insider is founded by the CEO of DoubleClick. DoubleClick is a subsidiary of Google and google is known to alter search results to favor Hillary Clinton. A clear opposition of Bernie Sanders and his socialist ideas, Google has take right-wing censorship to an extreme.
