Manipulation of the media is not something new.
do you honestly not understand?
they aren't lying to make the govt do anything, the govt already wants to overthrow the Venezuelan govt to take their oil
they are lying to make the populous be in favor of it by throwing out lies about whats going on there...
seriously what do you think would make it easier to win support for overthrowing another govt?
A) to take their natural resources
OR
B) to overthrow an oppressive dictator whose making the people there suffer?
when the populous believes a lie it makes it easier to push for things based on that lie
Indeed which is why mainstream media should be listened to more than unverifiable "sources" and opinion pieces that have no accountability.
If the mainstream media reports something that is not factual eventually they will be held to task for it, but the sources on non mainstream media can say what ever shit they like with zero accountability, its why you have the rise in anti vaxxers and flat earthers. Bullshit is given the same weight as actual news.
Its also how you end up with Brexit and trump.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
