Newsweek is finally starting to catch on to what I’ve already been saying now for over a year: TeleSUR is a shameless ASS (Anti-Social Socialist) propaganda network.
In reality, this isn’t “news”. The two countries have been partners for a long time – both in the matter of sales of military technology and media.
The two countries have been involved in a media partnership since 2015.
Given Ben Norton’s cosy relation to the Maduro regime, it’s unsurprising that he would share misinformation to his followers on Twitter.
What is surprising is that he would post something that so clearly shows his poor ability to read and interpret texts. If you read the original article on Newsweek, it’s clear that the author of it, Cristina Maza, never claims that TeleSUR is Russian.
If Ben Norton reads articles like this – which is written at an 8th grade reading level – one can’t but wonder what else he’s getting wrong in his “reporting”.
