We understand that the U.S. media can only cover so much, but this is a rather huge omission: the Ortega government down in Nicaragua has unleashed a violent response against the people.
Yes — why the silence?
Maybe this is one of those events that does not fit the narrative, or something like that!
It’s sad that these leftist leaders usually end up being more brutal than the regimes they replace.
Yes, the old man Somoza was a tough character and he didn’t up put up with communists like Sandino. And his family did spend too much money in Miami or showing off their sports cars.
At the same time, the country worked, the farms produced, and the cities were safe, as anyone familiar with that time will tell you. Under Ortega’s leftism, the country does not work, the farms don’t produce, and the cities are unsafe.
Sad for Nicaragua. Shame on the U.S. news media for overlooking how another lefty is cracking heads and killing people.
I’ll bet that the U.S. media would have never been silent if old man Somoza had ordered the killing of 300 protesters.
