Question: why is it when Hugo trashes transnationals or speaks of nationalization, we blame the media for getting it wrong or call it political posturing and when he says something that might be positive for KRY, we take him for his word?

Let's be careful here. As the company has been telling us, actions speak louder than words. RM has stated thousands of times, VZ has made many promises that have not been kept in the past. The company is hoping VZ keeps their word this time. Period.
