[Peace-discuss] Calculated Venezuela hysteria

[Mildred O'brien]

For the Third time since last week PBS News Hour showed a lengthy (about 15 minute) feature last night on the evils of the Maduro government and hardships endured as a result in Venezuela ("a RICH country!"--until Chavez took it over), as part of a series of propaganda by PBS/Fox "reporter" Marcia Biggs (and CIA/NED no doubt).  What the heck is slick propaganda doing on a "news" program!  Russian intervention?  The faithful consumers of PBS news probably fall for it hook line and sinker just like they fell for the Russia hoax.  Sometimes I wish Trump would carry out his threat to defund PBS and NPR!

Yes, at least some of it - notably parts of Tucker Carlson’s program. —CGE

And it is Vladimir Putin's greatest achievement. This is one of those shocking news days if you retain the capacity to be shocked in the Trump era by the Trump regime, which might be better labeled the Trump-Putin regime.”
