Why do you believe Venezuela's situation has been brushed under the rug by western media?

The news media is heavily biased toward the left. The indisputable proof that socialism does not work that is coming out of Venezuela would upset their progressive viewers too much. So they are careful not to draw any attention to it.

What is a Venezuela's?

After some time, it just starts to be old news. Always the same, doing the same, staying the same. That's old news, people don't care about that in the generalistic and to see in the news on TV or on headlines.

because they don't want the masses to see how socialism really works...
