That Reuters stringer should be edited a little more carefully. The phrase "pro-government newspaper" there probably means pro-Venezuelan-government newspaper. Probably for sure.
When I saw that I had this weirdly recursive flash on the Reuters pro-goverment newspaperishness, but American.
So the one pro-government newspaper reports what another pro-a-different-government newspaper said about something.
Except I think the delusion is American newspapers are independent, and free.
Except I think we saw freedom of the press at St. Paul during the RNC. Face down on the asphalt with its hands behind its back.
Then I realized I was losing myself in the grammar and typography because the news had so much gravity.
Dude. Russians in the Carribean.
