FOCUS: Matt Taibbi | The Liberal Embrace of War

Taibbi writes: "The United States has just suspended flights to Venezuela. Per the New York Times, the United States banned all air transport with Venezuela on Wednesday over security concerns, further isolating the troubled South American nation..." 

EXCERPT: 

The American commercial news landscape, in schism on domestic issues, is in lockstep here. Every article is seen from one angle: Venezuelans under the heel of a dictator who caused the crisis, with the only hope a “humanitarian” intervention by the United States.
There is no other perspective. Media watchdog FAIR just released results of a study of three months of American opinion pieces. Out of 76 editorials in the New York Times, Washington Post, the “big three Sunday morning talk shows” or PBS News Hour, zero came out against the removal of Maduro. They wrote:
“Corporate news coverage of Venezuela can only be described as a full-scale marketing campaign for regime change.”
