Why Has the Media Largely Ignored the Nicaraguan Crisis?
By David Unsworth
The American media does a disservice by paying scant attention to the events rocking Nicaragua (Wikipedia).

Daniel Ortega is in serious trouble; his brutal state security forces have been implicated in the deaths of more than 300 protesters in Nicaragua over the past three months. Yet, the American media has downplayed the story; a story which would seemingly deserve far greater news coverage than it has been given.

Why?

This will surely go down as one of the biggest stories to come out of Central America in a decade, but the vast majority of the reading American public will have little to no idea about what is happening in this nation of 10 million people. Sadly, that is often par for the course when it comes to the region. American media instinctively focuses on Europe and East Asia, Russia and China, often to the detriment of South and Central America.

Didn't Reagan warn them about this back in the 80s?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
