An unrecognized martyr in Venezuela

The mainstream media will undoubtedly ignore the death of Franklin Brito and symbolism of his struggle against an abusive government.
Mr. Brito became a victim of Hugo Chavez' communistic redistribution of farmland in 2005.
Brito went on a hunger strike until the government announced that it would return his land.
When he determined that the announcement was likely fake as he never received any paperwork making the reversal official and no compensation for his loss.
Brito sickened and died in a military hospital yesterday.

We never heard of Brito's struggle or the wrongness of the theft of private land for the sole purpose of pandering to voters (while they still have a say) from our media.
We likely will not hear of his death or the dishonesty of the government in Venezuela either.
Our mainstream media are pro Socialist and pro Communist to the bone.
