Here’s the actual article which says Maduro described himself that way as part of his propaganda campaign. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2217648/nicolas-maduro-portrait-hugo-chavez Hmmmmmmm... The successor to Hugo Chavez in 2013, and inaugurated less than a year ago for a third term contested by the opposition , the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, whose capture and exfiltration by the United States was announced by Donald Trump on Saturday, had managed to maintain an iron grip on the head of this oil-rich country. It took outside intervention to remove him from power. Tall, proudly sporting a moustache, the 63-year-old former bus driver frequently recalled his origins and liked to cultivate this image of a man of the people, simple and down-to-earth. He enjoyed invoking common sense, butchering English words, talking about baseball, or his evenings watching television with his wife, Cilia Flores, the " First Fighter ," a former prosecutor omnipresent on the Venezuelan political scene. Aged 69, she was also arrested. ELSEWHERE IN THE NEWS: Here's why vehicle prices have increased so much since the pandemic It's an act he puts on. As for English... he was Foreign Minister for years [2006-2013]. It's hard to believe he doesn't have a perfect command of it , said a diplomatic source. By making him his heir in 2012, a year before his death, Hugo Chavez (1999-2013) had praised one of the young leaders with the best abilities to take the helm of Venezuela. That's the actual headline and picture that start THE ARTICLE THAT YOU CITED, and the first 7 paragraphs of the article, unedited. I just copied and pasted. How is that "qoute-mining and generating false outrage"? How is Shady's post in any way misleading? He seems like he might be a swell, guy, right? If Carney was the one who captured him, do you think the descriptions would still be the same? Would the title still call him a "Man of the People", or would it sound more like "Despotic Narco-Tyrant"? Does "Man of the People" quote remind you of Suleimani's left4rd characterization.... "a father figure of the Iranian people"? TreeBeard, I'll grant you this much: You have all the humanity, morality and decency of Venzuela's "man of the people" and Iran's "beloved father figure".

Canadaisintrouble Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 CBC is the Liberal propaganda machine. It's definitely worth the subsidies to the corrupt Liberal government! I see the wicked witch has been put in position to launder money sent to Ukraine. This government doesn't even try and hide corruption anymore. 2 1 Quote

Yeah, the bias isn't like +10% or anything like that. It's a full, 100% bias, just like you'd get from a blue-hair panhandler. Quote It's definitely worth the subsidies to the corrupt Liberal government! The LPOC definitely get their money's worth for the billion taxpayer dollars that they give the media for every election. Quote I see the wicked witch has been put in position to launder money sent to Ukraine. Is it just a coincidence that the Ukrainians hired the one person in our gov't with direct familial ties to the actual Nazi party? The Ukrainians have an actual Nazi battalion in their army, it just makes so much sense to reunite Freeland with the family's old crew. Quote This government doesn't even try and hide corruption anymore. The cultists here try harder to ignore corruption than the Libs do to hide it. 1 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

CdnFox Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 18 minutes ago, Politics1990 said: they have said many unpleasent things about the libs also.. Not really. In fact it's quite noticeable that when a negative story breaks about the liberals the language they use is specific to try and downplay the nature of the problem. And very often they make it sound like somehow the conservatives are responsible, they will say things like conservatives pounce on liberal mistake, the big story being the conservatives are pouncing . So what you get is very minimal exposure to mistakes that liberals make, and often none at all, and the exposure that is there downplays the situation. Whereas for the conservatives they use emotionally charged language that makes it sound worse and they are far more front and center about it. And that's when they don't just out and out fabricate. There have been a number of stories in the last few years where conservative leaders were accused of things that simply never happened or conservative groups were. It's never a liberal, it's always a conservative. Then afterwards they print a apology on page 57 and walk away. They are completely biased and they're reporting reflects it. They do just enough so that they can make some species of claim that they are not entirely biased but the reality is they are and they do everything they can to promote the liberals and attack conservatives both provincially and federally 2 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

herbie Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 I just watched a CBC bit on pipelines and tankers in the BC northwest. They didn't call the objectors enviro-nazis or leftist extremists but they did include Tory MPs and called out their claims tankers were already using those waters as misinformation by showing maps they were in international waters. Wahhh! That proves they're leftists (disregard the fact the entire theme of the piece is that any decision on them must be based on risk, reason, science and consensus) 1 Quote

CdnFox Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 15 minutes ago, Politics1990 said: well when u got ....... LOL well that proved the point nicely According to mike's thoughts you have no objectivity and you're just a hate filled leftist. These days most of the time any accusation from the left is actually a confession. I think it's fair that you don't particularly like any of the things trump has done. I think it's fair that somebody might not like anything that biden did. but @Michael Hardner would have you believe that this is proof you're a bad person and irrational etc etc. And that's what's wrong with the left these days. If you don't agree with them you're a 'deplorable' Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Case in point, China trade policy - which liberals decried - remained relatively untouched or even with increased tariffs via Biden. His presidency was a nail in the coffin of the "new" politics of the Kennedy Administration... which he came of age in back when the hot technology was Colour TV. I can't wait until these decrepit dinosaurs - all of them - are gone. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

But they knew yourself admit that you can't. You're not having much luck with this "thinking" thing aren't you? Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
