I remember when El Salvador and the “death squads” were the number one story in the mass media just about every day.
Then something happened. They had an election and the pro American candidates won overwhelmingly. Within a couple of days the story simply died.
Something was made clear no matter how much people may deny it. The media hate traditional Americans and love and adore Communists.
It didn't die, it morphed into the Iran-Contra scandal that the Dems tried to use to railroad Reagan.
