Abby Martin appeared on the Jimmy Dore Show to discuss what the American public is not being told about the ongoing Venezuela crisis due to bias in American media tied directly to American financial interests.

Lee Camp speaks with Abby Martin journalist and host of The Empire Files, who exposes the profit-driven bias of corporate media reporting on Venezuela.

Colombia’s presidential election could determine the fate of the historic peace deal ending their 53-year civil war. While most in the country want to honor the agreement, Colombia’s right wing has been a fervent opponent.

In Bogotá, Abby Martin interviews Congressman Edward Rodriguez, a leading member of the far-right Democratic Center Party founded by former President Uribe. She challenges him on his party’s ties to death squads, drug cartels and potential to reignite the war.

Martin also visits the government office dedicated to compensating the civilian victims and speaks with Director Ana Maria Almario about their monumental task.

 

Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the attacks against Abby from John Stossel, Bari Weiss and hasbara operation Stand With Us since appearing on the Joe Rogan show; the horrifying bloodletting in Gaza, where Israeli snipers shot 1,320 Palestinians with live ammunition and executed 62 unarmed protesters in cold blood––including 7 children, and the subsequent media cover up; VICE’s whitewashing of Israeli war crimes in a recent interview with Netanyahu; the significance of Maduro’s sweeping victory in the Venezuela elections amidst an economic crisis in a new Media Roots Radio.

Corporate Media, Imperialism, People’s Power

 

On May 6, 2018, the excellent grassroots media project acTVism Munich organized an event with Glenn Greenwald, Jill Stein and Abby Martin called “Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0″ in Munich, Germany.

In an interview with organizer Zain Raza, Abby explains her trajectory as an anti-war activist turned professional journalist for RT America, the inverted reality in America where criticism of the government is smeared as Russian propaganda, her critique of corporate media and passion for a free media; and why her current work centers through the lens of US Empire.

View the entire event including excellent interviews with Jill Stein and Glenn Greenwald and an audience question and answer session at the end.
