The New York Times reported on Tuesday that a top State Department official overseeing Venezuela’s negotiations with socialist President Nicolas Maduro’s government had “reached new understandings” with the communist regime.
The Times, however, did not offer these new understandings. Instead the article offered up the most laughable explanation possible for the State Department’s actions.

Myers’ anti-Maduro reporting was not limited to the New York Times and he was, more recently, a strong supporter of the president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa.

Myers was one of the so-called “Never Trump” people who was never a consistent Trump supporter. Myers, himself, was pro-Democratic Party and pro-Hillary Clinton.
But, in order to promote his communist and anti-American views as he did with the New York Times, he was willing to be dishonest.
He wrote that “The United States has been a steadfast supporter of the Venezuelan government’s struggle for democracy
