there are plenty of those who are willing to engage in lies and propaganda if that is your preference. I suggest following Maduro and his supporters. What's right wing about truthful news?

And all the while you continue to ignore the violence and murder being committed by Capriles' supporters.

You're as transparent as a pane of glass.

violence increased about every year under Chavez with last year over 20,000 being murdered. The Information Minister claimed about 20% of crime is committed by the police. How have the chavistas combatted this? by not talking about it.

We already know that two instances of "murder being committed by Capriles' supporters" was unsubstantiated and disproven. Regardless, any violence one can attribute to the opposition was resoundingly denounced by the opposition leader.

Unlike the chavista leader who says he will "use a firm hand" against dissenters and who called for "radicalization" of the chavistas, while armed tupamaros drive around terrorizing Venezuelans and the National Guard shuts down any protest without question. Yeah, the violent ones are known here.

Every day dozens of Venezuelans are murdered. Even Maduro has acknowledged that fact. Even Venezuela Analysis has acknowledged that fact (and attributed it to Capriles taking so many chavistas out of the fold). Even Diosdado Cabello has acknowledged that.

Why you insist on calling facts right wing, I don't know, I suppose you believe the chavistas are above criticism. That's fair enough, I guess.

I noticed that.

And provides the right wing propaganda of several different South American and Caribbean countries.

Those same sources he cites have other interesting articles and videos too.

It's not hard to figure out the editorial views of the Caracas Chronicles........ especially when they have an interview of David Frum!

I'm just wondering why he posts it here on DU. Wouldn't he feel more at home posting that on some right wing site where he's "preaching to the choir"?

If you go back and read what they thought during the 2012 campaign they bashed him just as often as the "left wingers" on this forum. They're only "embracing" him now because he chewed away almost a million chavista votes from the chavistas and is causing Maduro headaches. They agree with Capriles on very few issues.
