CNN Airs Socialism-Free Story on Venezuelan Pediatric Hospital Crisis

July 15th, 2016 12:03 AM
It would be far too kind to give three cheers to CNN for exposing the disastrous conditions in a children's hospital in Caracas, Venezuela caused by over 15 years of Bolivarian socialism in a July 13 broadcast report.
