Oh dear, it looks as though the story being told about Venezuelan socialism isn't quite the truth. Shock horror!

 

"This useful weapon to be used against the left can only be sustained by withholding a great number of key facts—chief among them, the US role in Venezuela’s devastation. US sanctions, according to the Venezuelan opposition’s economics czar, are responsible for a halving of the country’s oil output (FAIR.org,12/17/18). The UN Human Rights Council has formally condemned the US and discussed reparations to be paid, with one UN special rapporteur describing Trump’s sanctions as a possible “crime against humanity” (London Independent, 1/26/19). This has not been reported by any the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN or any other national US “resistance” news outlet, which have been only too quick to support Trump’s regime change plans (FAIR.org, 1/25/19).

Likewise, the local US-backed opposition’s role in the economic crisis is barely mentioned. The opposition, which controls much of the country’s food supply, has officially accepted responsibility for conducting an “economic war” by withholding food and other key goods."

So a socialist biased source creates a stretch to promote socialism.  Btw, Venezuela was circling the drain way before any US sanctions were put in place, but I suppose that doesn’t fit the narrative.

So only when it comes to Venezuela, the media supports Trump?  But they crucify him at every other turn?  

 

You should read what you post.  You should also look at VZ happenings 20 years ago.

I am not sure what your point is, or even if there is one.

My point is your quoted post lacks truth.

Are you sure? Your previous post didn't say anything about truth, just some ramblings about the media being against Trump except on this one issue.

As I said.  Truth.  Since when has the media supported Trump on anything since he took office?

 

That, and the inconvenient little truth that Venezuela was suffering long before Trump was in office.

Oh I get it. You think Venezuela is a partisan issue. I guess you probably missed where I called out the media for refusing to say anything about the US interference in Venezuela, and mocked it for having double standards? Oh well, keep drinking the koolaid bro.

The glorious condition of Venezuela must be why so many Venezolanos are being granted asylum in the U.S.  They don't have hard times making their cases.
