Tell Media: Report Trump’s Venezuela Rhetoric with Context

President Trump has dramatically escalated U.S. military action against Venezuela, including a controversial capture of its leader and sweeping statements about U.S. authority there — yet much of the media has repeated his claims without clearly flagging the legal and geopolitical risks. According to reporting from The Intercept, Trump’s messaging frames the conflict in simplified terms that blur national defense, drug policy, and regime change, often without factual grounding or expert analysis.

This approach — amplifying dramatic presidential assertions without adequate scrutiny — misleads the public on whether U.S. actions violate international law, risk wider conflict, or serve narrow political ends rather than clear strategic ones. Journalists must resist treating unchecked presidential narratives as accepted fact.

Add your name to demand that media outlets cover Trump’s Venezuela policy with rigorous context and critical inquiry — not as unquestioned national messaging.
