Re: Max Blumenthal discusses Venezuela. Archived Message Posted by brooks on February 7, 2019, 7:10 pm, in reply to "Max Blumenthal discusses Venezuela." "Interruptions from a crumb on John Bolton's mustache notwithstanding..." I don't know anything about CGTN America, but such formats favour the establishment. First, shoehorn four guests into 20 minutes to debate a US-generated crisis with a long history and connected to complex geopolitical and economic issues. Second, be sure one of the two dissenting voices has a limited command of English. Third, give the most articulate dissident the least amount of time by repeatedly allowing him to be talked over without cutting the offender's mic. Blumenthal could have refuted every single point made by the mustache crumb and Salazar, but had no time to do it, and in the little time he had, was mostly shouted down. Such journalistic malfeasance has got to be by design. If the establishment side can't win a real debate, make sure you provide only pretend ones.
