The US media, the big three news groups, CBS, NBC and ABC, all have avoided reporting on the disaster happening in Venezuela. The socialistic experiment called socialism happening in Venezuela is a catastrophe!
Studies found that the reporting from the big three have been minimal to none.
Out of approximately 50,000 total evening news stories on ABC, CBS and NBC combined in the last four years, just 25 have covered the ongoing crisis in socialist Venezuela, according to a Media Research Center study published Tuesday.
So far in 2017, more than 50 Venezuelans have been killed during protests against current Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his socialist policies. Many Venezuelans are starving due to shortages of food and other essentials. The country’s inflation rate is set to surpass 700 percent and 25 percent of Venezuelans will be unemployed.
The Media Research Center reported, out of the 50,000 total evening news stories on the three networks, just 25 covered Venezuela, and only SEVEN mentioned “socialism.” In addition, NBC Nightly News only broadcast 13 stories spanning 16 minutes and 54 seconds, ABC’s World News only covered 8 minutes and 34 seconds over seven stories, and CBS Evening News only offered 3 minutes and 11 seconds over five stories.
WHAT a SURPRISE!!
But all too often, the media turn a blind eye to the atrocities and tragedies that fester in Venezuela, along with the root causes underlying them.
“Even worse, the few times they have managed to cover the widespread poverty, starvation and government oppression in that country, they somehow find ways to do that without mentioning the word ‘socialism.’”
With only a few exceptions:
CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley offered another exception on May 4, when he said, “Running battles continue in Venezuela’s capital. They broke out a month ago when the socialist president tried to grab more power. At least 37 have been killed.
This is the SAME socialism that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and many Hollywood celebrities champion. This is the SAME socialism many U.S. college students and struggling young adults are gravitating towards.
