Covering Venezuela back in, say, August, when I had a feeling about what was coming but no one else cared, was difficult. Resources were lacking, and I often had to go with my gut. Covering Venezuela in January, so far, has been difficult because it's like drinking water out of a firehose — there's so much information out there, and I'd say 80% of it is either incorrect, biased, or a lot more nuanced than people want to admit.In Other News
Suddenly, everyone in the MSM — and even some in conservative media, I hate to say — is an expert on a country they thought little about until recently, which results in a lot of chaos and disinformation in the news. We joke about these leftist protesters trading in their "Free Palestine" flags and posters for "Free Nicolás Maduro" ones, but the truth is that the pundits and reporters often do the same thing.
Marco Rubio summed it up when he appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday and said that "most of the 'experts' people have on television, I watch these experts and it's clown hour. These are people that have focused their entire career on the Middle East or some other part of the world because that's where all the action was. Very few of them know anything about Venezuela or the Western Hemisphere."
So, here is what I can tell you about what's next for Venezuela: No one outside the White House knows. I don't know. You don't know. The loudest reporters, anchors, and pundits in the rest of the media don’t know — even the ones with the fancy anonymous sources who claim to be insiders, even the ones with the big names who get all the attention. None of them know.
