I thought Duterte won a free and open election and still enjoys widespread support? Forgive me, I forgot it was 2017 and we should avoid such inconvenient truths when they get in the way of "progressive" narratives from the Globe's leftwing blowhards. After all, at least Southey goes after the South American tyrants in Venezuela the same way she disparages leaders from her opposing political spectrum - Southey sure let the ruling Mullahs have it in Iran after their "election".  But I digress, it's clear there are more important issues than middle-class Venezuelan's eating dogs and cats because they're starving under a socialist tyrant. Southey's puff pieces about Donald Trump week after week are embarrassing - even for the Globe and even for 2017...
