Venezuelan President: U.S. Fracking Has ‘Flooded’ Oil Markets

The broadcast networks may not want to give credit to hydraulic fracturing for increasing U.S. oil production and lowering global oil prices, but at least one angry world leader did just that.

On the front page, it was all “populist” euphemism
