"Venezuelans will head to the polls on July 28 to choose their president for the 2025–30 term. Incumbent President Nicolás Maduro faces nine challengers as he runs for a third term. "Over the past 25 years of US-sponsored coups and economic sanctions, Western corporate media have always proven a reliable source of regime-change propaganda to back Washington’s policies (FAIR.org, 12/17/18<https://fair.org/home/wapo-trump-needs-to-destroy-venezuela-to-save-it/>, 1/25/19<https://fair.org/home/resistance-media-side-with-trump-to-promote-coup-in-venezuela/>, 8/15/19<https://fair.org/home/npr-shreds-ethics-handbook-to-normalize-regime-change-in-venezuela/>, 4/15/20<https://fair.org/home/corporate-media-cover-for-us-mob-threats-against-venezuela/>, 5/11/20<https://fair.org/home/corporate-media-dont-think-americans-paid-to-invade-venezuela-count-as-mercenaries/>, 1/11/23<https://fair.org/home/guaido-is-gone-but-media-dishonesty-is-here-to-stay/>). Coverage builds to a frenzy around elections, whether driven by a (misguided) hope that US surrogates will win, or by a desire to delegitimize anticipated Chavista victories. "With two months to go, Western outlets are busy crafting familiar narratives, and leading the charge is the New York Times. Not busy enough with its genocide-endorsing coverage<https://fair.org/home/action-alert-nyts-war-on-words-avoid-palestine-genocide-ethnic-cleansing/> of Gaza, the paper of record was keen to back yet another key US foreign policy interest. In a flurry of recent articles, the Times laid down plenty of bias, distortions and outright lies." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
