‘I thought I was going to die’ – Venezuelans describe earthquake panic

Buildings have reportedly been flattened in Caracas, and yet, where’s the outrage? Where’s the coverage from CNN, MSNBC, or even Fox News? Sure, they might show a few clips, but let’s be real—it’s not as if they’ll dive deep into the tragic aftermath or the voices crying from the rubble. No, they prefer to push their daily dose of sensationalism or partisan drama.

The establishment media is notorious for its selective coverage, cherry-picking stories that fit their narrative while conveniently glossing over the harsh realities faced by people in places like Venezuela. Instead of taking a hard look at the incompetence and corruption in government, they’d rather focus on feel-good stories that cater to their liberal or conservative bases. It’s disgraceful.

Why are they turning a blind eye to the desperation and suffering in Caracas? Are these outlets too busy trying to paint governments in a favorable light to hold anyone accountable? Maybe they think drama is better than truth because that’s what gets clicks. Meanwhile, the lives lost and trapped in the rubble are reduced to mere footnotes.

It’s high time we demand better from these corporate giants that masquerade as news agencies. If they won’t report responsibly, it falls on us to seek the truth—beyond the noise. Citizens deserve more than soundbites and partisan attacks. They need real journalism that respects the dignity of life lost amidst disaster.
