| A recent episode of the John Oliver show on HBO broadcast in the US has Venezuela as its central theme. As
Oliver likes to think of himself as a “progressive”, one might have
thought that this episode would be a fairly serious, accurate, and even
educational episode on Venezuela and its current problems.
WRONG! In effect, Oliver bends over, drops his pants and spouts all the injected invective, misinformation, disinformation, omission, and outright lies against the Venezuelan people. Fortunately, the Empire Files undertook a critical look at Oliver’s (and his team’s) laziness and bias when talking about the current situation in Venezuela, as well as its causes and historical background. Not only is Oliver caught red-handed twisting the reality of a whole country but the commentary about his program is educational and informative concerning what is happening in Venezuela when compared to the corporate media version in which everything is “Maduro’s fault”. Conclusion – Oliver should be ashamed of participating in this dangerous propaganda. This
is a video worth watching if you are interested in learning more about
the Bolivarian revolution and how the media war is being run against
this country. |
