As Venezuela Implodes, NBC Avoids Naming the Cause: Socialism
On Thursday, an Investor's Business Daily editorial cited a long list of news outlets which have recently covered the calamitous events in Venezuela, but which, in IBD's words, "continue to obfuscate, if not totally ignore" the fact that the country's implosion can be laid at the feet of one simple cause: "Socialism."

Intrepid conspiracy theorists uncovered a secret code in hacked emails that detailed a Congressional child sex ring.…
