This video leaves me speechless … Aporrea’s take on the incident leaves me doubly speechless.
Luckily, our readers are not speechless! Take it away, venelondoner:
“En serio… con estos caimanes no se puede. Intentar hablar o razonar con ellos es como hablar con un bloque de granito.
Y de aporrea bueno… mucha gente les da excesivo crédito últimamente porque critican a los nuevos dueños del cambur que no les dejan coger a ellos también. Esa es la razón de su molestia y critica al chavomadurismo. Nada tiene que ver el desastre y la anarquía en la cual estos delincuentes han llevado al país. Así que no me sorprende en lo absoluto
Me sorprende que nos sorprenda, a estas alturas deberíamos saber cómo es la vaina.
Ese reportero va a tener buen material para cuando termine su castigo en Venezuela: es como estar en Bizancio durante el asedio Otomano. La ciudad a punto de caer y los carajos discutiendo el sexo de los angeles. Nosotros somos un poco más prosaicos y hablamos de pseudo revolucionarios masacrados en su casa… y de Lorent, y de Uribe y claro de Leopoldo que planifico todo desde Los Teques.
Debe ser que soy de ultraderecha y no veo las cosas como el presidente obrero”
I can understand Maduro stating that topic of the press conference isn’t about oil or the Venezuelan economy, but his short response to the question at hand is mind-blowing. Venezuela is in big trouble economically and if something isn’t done quickly a bigger hell will be unleashed.

He answered the question. Oil prices will rise. That’s the plan. That’s it.

Nothing like some good-ol’ “us vs them” to fuel the rhetoric that runs this place (Regarding the Aporrea article).

I particularly love Aporrea’s patronizing tone, starting with the headings:
“Trató de cambiar el objetivo de la rueda de prensa
Presidente Maduro pone en su sitio a corresponsal de AP en Venezuela ”
Anjá. The nerve of Joshua Goodman. And his bosses, too. Simply dreadful. How dare they?
Aporrea the school marm follows with just one of many gems: “El país completo quedó estupefacto”
Sí como no.

It has always been important for the chavista propaganda machine to show their opinion as it were the same of the entire country, relegating people with other views (who might not be even in the opposition) as a tiny fraction of “apátridas” who practically can’t be called Venezuelans.

That’s Sacha Baron Cohen material.
But I think it’s remarkable that Maduro still receives foreign press to “answer questions”, haha… Why does he do that? To improve public relations? How is he achieving that in the video above? Jesus…

Chavez used to crassly evade questions like the all the time. Remember how he dealt with journalists like John Sweeney and Rory Carroll? Back then, it was a matter of asking the wrong questions and now it’s about asking them at the appropriate time.
Maduro looks much more tame with this answer in comparison. And as it turns out, Aporrea is still a platform of mindless, figurative human shields for the Hegemony. Shocker.

I think he wants to take the question home and answer it tomorrow or the day after. He did not know there was going to be quiz on economics today.
Anyway, he had the appropriate macho response: write it down we are going to do okay, lets compare notes in a year, you’ll see.

You can Maduro looks really unsure of himself at times. He is trying to put on a front and mimic Chavez (even pointing the finger??), but you can tell he doesn’t really believe he can pull it off.
The look on the reporters face towards the end is priceless. …ha!

Don’t forget, the Venezuelan budget / economy has always been managed / balanced at $40/bbl.. no? so it’s OK for prices to fall a long way before Maduro has to worry… hence his response… I suppose…

Yes but now there is leakage (Cuba) and repayment of money already spent (China) in oil (hey did we come out well for once from that deal? I mean did we forward sell the Chinese that oil!). On the Cuban regime it would be interesting if someone here could estimate the impact of the lower oil price on the Cuban budget, no? How will they manage that?
