In the New York Times statement, when Jair Bolsonaro’s meeting with the American president was about to begin, “Snubbed by key Latin American countries, Biden seeks consensus with Brazil.” Then, on video, he edited a “tense” Biden, as he had predicted:
The newspaper and Fox News agreed on Thursday, in their news from the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, that what was important was the absence of Mexico and the “Northern Triangle”, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
In the words of CBS’s lead political reporter, “In this country, immigration is a radioactive, urgent political issue. And the fact that the leaders of the four doors down, so to speak, are not here is a symbolic blow to the Biden administration. “.
In the NYT, “the summit is focused on immigration, the absence is a sign of the growing division between the United States and Latin American nations.” Fox News underlined criticism by the conservative Heritage foundation of Biden’s “total lack of leadership”.
THE TIGHTENING OF INFLATION
The summit actually receives little attention in American media, almost absent from the home pages. Headlines throughout the day, from the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, went to inflation.
Respectively, “9 out of 10 Americans say they are feeling the pinch of inflation” and “Record gas prices bring down US businesses and economy.”
AMERICAN VIOLENCE
Another highlight, the January 6 commission’s televised hearings on last year’s Capitol Hill raid began with a bang. The first, on Thursday night, was “focused on far-right groups,” according to WPost.
But the news since the day before was violence on the other side, with the attempted murder of a conservative Supreme Court justice, in defense of the right to abortion. NYT and others were challenged on social media for “burying” the information.
Criticism of the lack of coverage of violence by pro-abortion rights groups in liberal outlets such as NBC is growing on other fronts.
The website Mediaite complained about the absence of news, for example, about the attack with a Molotov cocktail on a Christian clinic for pregnant women in Buffalo, New York, credited to the group Jane’s Revenge.
