That's not hard to accomplish. That's what our right-wing-controlled corporate media does, all the media controlled primarily by business interests. Everyone's well aware of that.
It's what the same organizations used to do regarding Hugo Chavez. They tried like people possessed to claim Lula da Silva loathed Chavez, as well. Only the sane people took time to notice those disgusting attacks were in no way reality-based.
It's simply a tawdry attempt to pretend progressive Presidents who are more submissive to US interests are far better people than the ones the US hates more.
Bachelet has learned during her own life experiences the extreme discomfort which can come through torture, and seeing your father murdered by the bloody, evil, insanely brutal puppet dictators the US fully supports. She's probably concerned avoid makinging herself a target again. It would be immoderately stupid to assume this means she worships US policy toward Latin America.
Bachelet: I support Maduro’s Venezuela
By Progreso Weekly • Published on March 7, 2014
Chile’s president-elect, Michelle Bachelet, said her administration will support the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
“When we take office, what we’re going to do is offer our support to the government and people of Venezuela in a real search for the democratic channels of social peace, so the Venezuelans themselves may find that road,” Bachelet said Thursday night (March 6) on television.
It was her first public statement on the Venezuelan crisis since her election in December.
“Chile has played a very important role in the defense of human rights, and also of the democratic processes,” she said on Santiago’s Channel 13. “And just as we shall always endeavor to truly guarantee human rights, we don’t think it proper that violent actions be utilized to destabilize a democratically elected government,” she told her interviewer, Mario Kreutzberger (Don Francisco).
(In an interview published Friday (March 7) in The Washington Post, Bachelet is quoted as saying that "Chile has recognized President Maduro as a democratically elected president. I will work with President Maduro, as with other presidents, with a lot of respect." When pressed for a longer answer, she said that "once I am in office, there will be a chance to talk about all of these issues.”)
