I’m not going to go too long with this post. I’ve done a lot on Venezuela already – here at The Hayride, over at The American Spectator and at The Spectacle Podcast – and I was just on Moon Griffon’s show talking about this subject this morning.

But it’s really amazing to see the way the local media in New Orleans and Baton Rouge have been covering the aftermath of the arrest of Nicolas Maduro. A good example is this golden turd from WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge…

Protestors lined Perkins Road Tuesday afternoon to protest the United States’ recent involvement in Venezuela.

Members of Indivisible Baton Rouge blasted the Trump administration for the capture of Nicolas Maduro, saying there are more important matters the United States should prioritize.

“I mean, what does this have to do with American lives with American prosperity? What does this have to do with the price of groceries or health care, in order to go in and bring or kidnap a president of a sovereign nation and bring him there?”, Attendee Winston Marcelle said.

Indivisible Baton Rouge plans to hold protests every Tuesday near Perkins Road Community Park from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“Hands Off Venezuela” is strangely reminiscent of something from a few decades ago…

Yes, that’s Lee Harvey Oswald, communist shill for Fidel Castro and ultimate assassin of President John F. Kennedy. You would think the “hands off” verbiage in favor of communist dictators would have gone away in November of 1963, but you’d be wrong.

Indivisible is a communist front organization whose funding is advertised to be “grass roots,” but since it doesn’t play in elections per se, we can’t really pierce that veil. There are lots of people out there, though, who say it’s foreign billionaires really behind them.

If that’s true, it makes you wonder who’d want to fund an organization which recruits stooges to shill for narco-terrorist dictators in Latin America that the Biden administration put a $50 million bounty on.

These are pretty good questions to ask to the people identifying themselves as members of Indivisible. Does it seem like WBRZ bothered to ask them? Why, no.

Attendee Winston Marcelle probably should have been asked why he’s on a street playing step-n-fetchit for Cartel de los Soles, how he found out about Indivisible, what made him join that organization, whether he got paid to stand there holding his stupid sign. Was he the spokesman for the 10 or so morons mooning for Maduro on Tuesday? If not, who is?

Consider that WBRZ’s audience is going to be very much not in favor of these idiots, and also consider that it’s conspicuous that when only 10 of them show up to demonstrate in favor of Venezuelan narco-tyrants they still manage to land airtime on the local news, and you wonder why they didn’t at least rate a few probing questions.

If not – call me crazy for suggesting this – going to find some actual Venezuelans and seeing what they think of a bunch of mostly-white, mostly-affluent American communists stooging for the just-deposed dictator of their country. I know a few, and they don’t seem to share the opinion of Attendee Winston Marcelle. Most of them are very much in sync with this guy…

It really does come off like WBRZ is taking a position on these protesters. And not at all the right one. Perhaps if you’re an advertiser on that station, or the others who’ve run this kind of sludge on their air, you might reconsider spending those dollars in the future.
