"As Venezuela Mends Ties With Latin Neighbors, Western Media Turn Up the Propaganda. Venezuela’s Maduro government has slowly and steadily regained its diplomatic standing in recent years, overcoming US endeavors to turn the country into a pariah state as part of its regime-change efforts.
Nevertheless, Washington remains hell-bent on ousting the democratically elected Venezuelan authorities, and has kept its deadly sanctions program virtually intact. And Western media, which have cheered coup attempts at every step of the way (FAIR.org, 6/13/22, 5/2/22, 6/4/21, 4/15/20, 1/22/20), remain committed to endorsing US policies to the bitter end.
This commitment was on full display recently when President Nicolás Maduro was hosted by Brazilian President Lula da Silva, in a major blow against the campaign to isolate Venezuela. Lula added insult to injury by condemning what he called the 'narrative' of authoritarianism and lack of democracy that had been built around Venezuela to justify sanctions and regime change.' "

-->FAIR demonstrates how in bed the mainstream media is when it comes to socialist governments in other countries. For Cuba and Venezuela, the NYT is all Cold War propaganda, all of the time.

"The Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation 'failed to fulfill their mission' by dismissing or downplaying ominous intelligence in the weeks and days leading up to the deadly January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to a Senate investigation published Tuesday.
The report—entitled Planned in Plain Sight: A Review of the Intelligence Failures in Advance of January 6, 2021—was published by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee and calls the Capitol attack 'an unprecedented effort to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election and our nation's long history of peaceful transitions of power' that 'followed months of repeated and false claims by former President Donald Trump, his lawyers, and certain elected officials, that the presidential election was stolen.'
'What was shocking is that this attack was essentially planned in plain sight in social media. Yet it seemed as if our intelligence agencies completely dropped the ball.' "

-->Only Fox News seems to have covered this story. Why no NYT coverage? Perhaps this story makes the US look too bad. Our newspaper of record often plays the role of avoiding bad news for the empire. The story itself shows a distinct lack of legitimacy for several governmental agencies.
