The New York Times Left Socialism’s Role Out of Its Report on Venezuela’s Devastation
< < Go Back
Kudos to The New York Times—yes, The New York Times—for running an excellent, detailed story on the mass starvation and economic catastrophe taking place in Venezuela.
As the Times notes, Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world, yet is going through a starvation crisis exacerbated and hidden by its own government.
Common items like baby formula are almost unattainable for the average person and the crisis is deepening.
Alas, missing from the Times analysis is nearly any discussion of the reality that Venezuela is a socialist country once praised by America’s liberal elite.
In fact, only a single mention of the ruling socialist party near the end of the piece can be found.
Venezuela was once praised by left-wing pundits—including in the Times’ opinion section—for being a model of glowing success.
Less than half a decade later, the collapse has come.
