They are the ones insisting that rural Colombia is under attack by right-wing paramilitaries, when for the last 52 years, it has been the FARC and now their uber-violent offspring, the ELN. And the recent uptick in violence is ELN payback for the rural folk showing their displeasure during the last round of elections when FARC candidates (also the target of ELN ire) got pummeled by rotten fruits, veggies and stones.

ColombiaReports. THERE is your fake news source.
