Set up under the guise of National Security it was first fully implemented by the US Army in Colombia. Kovalik compairs the news coverage of Colombia and Venezuela. They are neighboring countries that receive extremely different treatment by the US Empire and the mass media. While Colombia is known for one of the worst human rights records in the world (killing priests, trade unionists, indigenous, journalists the poor) it remains a top recipient of US military aid and enjoys uncritical press coverage in Western media--all while Trump imposes sanctions and threatens military intervention against Venezuela over unsubstantiated allegations.
