Since history only remembers events from the perspective of the ruling class, it comes as little surprise that those who follow the same masters will chime in to the same tune of praise. As Chávez' death demonstrated, there appears to be a negative correlation between how mainstream media portraits a deceased person and how that person was seen by the majority of the population. So one only has to reverse the sentiments expressed to get to the bottom of the untold story. The reason seems to be the fact that those who "create" public opinion serve the interests of the elites - consequently they'll reflect their views in order to ensure their approval.0.noreply@blogger.com
