Actual “fake news”

And how the media rushed to support Trump’s narrative. For example: “far left” CNN claimed: “a CNN team saw incendiary devices from police on the Venezuelan side of the border ignite the trucks.” ...but it was a Molotov cocktail from anti-regime protesters. The government of Columbia (#2 in receiving US aid) doctored the footage and US officials passed it on as proof - even calling it a war crime or crime against humanity by Venezuela. https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/americas/100000006385986/the-us-blamed-maduro-for-burning-aid-to-venezuela-new-video-casts-doubt.html?

Marco Rubio, Trump, the Democrats and the media all seemed to care about it when it could be used as war propaganda.

What is your point here? That CNN was pushing fake news to support propaganda for regime change in Venezuela? Literally nothing new here, they did the same thing for Iraq and Syria

Why so defensive? It is literally a new instance of a widely read and reported story that was not looked at critically because it suited the needs of politicians of both parties and was therefore taken for granted as true by the media.
