At first it hit me that maybe they are starting to see through what happened at RCTV and are feeling a bit sheepish, and have done this report as a peace-making overture.
Nah. They've had access to all the information all the way along, and they have deliberately spun the news so hard it was almost unrecognizable altogether. It would be premature to think they are starting to clean up their act.
However this article got out is a delight. What a change of pace.
I had no choice beyond feeling great respect for his position on remarriage at this stage of his life. Absolutely compassionate on his part to realize his wish for a companion could lead to far too much hardship for anyone he would choose right now. It's true.
We've seen too much history laid down at our feet for us to study by now concerning what happens to "leftist" leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean. They are in grave danger all the time due to the iron fisted control of these countries by right-wing oligarchies with total ties to the U.S. elites.
Easy to see why the populations want release from this oligarchy directed prison, and a big step forward into a fair chance at life for everyone, something more to hope for than a short, desperately hard trip from birth to the grave.
