Either Cathy is writing this from an apartment in New York, laughing her butt off, or she’s completely insane.

“Anybody out there have any ideas on why this story is not in the major news outlets?”

Um, because the MSM has been carrying water for this socialist dictator for years. After all, libscum just love socialist dictators aka “Heros of the People.”

The deeper reason is cognitive dissonance. In their world view, socialist dictators are a power for good in the world as they offset the evil US. When those dictators’ policies eventually bring their nations to ruin, a libdolt MSM reporter/editor is faced with trying to reconcile the reality of those dictators’ evils with a left wing worldview. It’s not possible. However, changing worldviews is emotionally painful. The “out” for them is to use a defense mechanism - they simply do not even see the thugs’ evils. That, in a nutshell, is cognitive dissonance: failing to even perceive facts that counter ones worldview in order to protect that worldview.

In other words, the libdolts aren’t intentionally failing to report these evils. Rather, they literally do not even see them. Failure to report follows as an inevitable consequence.
