The owner of The Spectator is also the co-owner of loss leading GB News,  so you might, or might not want to take what they say with a pinch of salt.

Indeed.  As far as I can see all media has  bias one way or another.  What is good about the spectator is they have multiple, often contradictory articles.   They are generally right leaning, but they actually publish articles by current Labour MPs as well.

The majority of current Labour MPs are also right leaning.

The Spectator have today published a new article stating that the Venezuela action is nothing to do with oil.  The writer said it is all about keeping China at bay.  I will try and post the link later when I get the chance.  I have no view one way or another, but the guy seemed to know his stuff.

 

 

That had to be an elaborate spoof story surely.

Well his basic point made a lot of sense.  USA simply don’t need the oil, but they do see China as a threat, and China was increasingly established in Venezuela.  It would apparently have given them a perfect base to attack the US fleet along the Gulf coast and of course control the Panama Canal.
