Did Venezuela snap out of existence? Syria too?
What happened to all the news hounds who followed the trail laid down by the White House?
When the whistle blew they came running. Now the trail of potential blood has dried up they are nowhere to be seen. Are they sniffing each others’ asses now instead?
Venezuela was big news for an intense six months. Trump, Bolton, Pompeo and Rubio were tapping their fingers to the bone churning out tweets on every accusation possible... especially Little Marco.
It built up to quite a crescendo and many media ears liked the tune. A few trucks burning on the highway to nowhere added to what was meant to be a fanfare of success. Weaponized aid donated and delivered by Monsters ‘R Us, Langley, Virgina should have set the seal on the matter... but no. The beat went on.
London played its part by hoarding millions in gold and finding such great merits in the quisling who would be king... or president... or something. Guaidó. The open-mouthed goofball king maybe?
Fifty other nations fawning at the oversized feet of the USA all sang the same tune. “Guaidó, Guaidó, Guaidó, Guaidó!!”
All to no avail. Guaidó, hailed as King of the Hill, master of all he surveyed, pretender to the throne ended up a puppet without a thing... instead of dangling from a string.
The media circus waited a while, didn’t smell the blood of forty thousand dead Venezuelans... or did and didn’t care, ten packed their bags, put their filters away along with their lenses and went home.
Or perhaps went to the next target already selected on the wheel of misfortune at Langley?
The press corp cry out plaintively for the direction of travel:
Is it Ukraine? Perhaps Syria? Maybe Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq?
Can we get a signal from the Oval office please? Get that pointer pointing. We need some guidance on where the news is meant to be news now! What’s our focus?
Is it Xinjiang this week? Hong Kong? Tibet? Navalny? Belarus? How about the Czech Republic?
Ring Bellingcat. They’ll know.
It’s a slow week, a dead week. We need a death or two! Something to blame on the deadly duo R & C. The click generators supreme: Russia and China. Two golden geese for the price of one (plus our integrity of course... but that’s LONG, LONG gone).
Why not cook up some evil act by someone. We need one of them a month at the very least!
Genocide, a poisoning, a murder or two, forced sterilization, electoral interference, why not a chemical weapon attack... hey, get those White Helmet guys producing the goods, we pay them a fucking fortune!
The news cycle is slowing to a crawl man... this is killing us!
Wait... wait... here it comes! Yes! It’s cyber warfare and by, you guessed it... the Russians! Bingo! It’s media frenzy playtime once again. The Russians are truly a gift that never stops giving. Crank up the presses, it’s ‘Breaking News’ time once again. Our jobs are safe for another month or two!
Send an email of congrats to Virginia...
