Well, here’s a headline that should make your jaw hit the floor: The Biden State Department, in all its infinite wisdom, apparently had its office TVs tuned into Telesur, a state-funded Venezuelan propaganda channel. Yes, the same Telesur that was bankrolled by the late Hugo Chávez—Venezuela’s socialist strongman who made it his life’s mission to rail against America while driving his own country into the ground. If this isn’t the most Biden-era story ever, I don’t know what is.
Let’s unpack this absurdity. Telesur isn’t just a garden-variety leftist media outlet. No, it’s a megaphone for the Nicolás Maduro regime—a regime that’s so oppressive and incompetent it turned one of the richest countries in Latin America into a dystopian nightmare of poverty and starvation. Oh, and let’s not forget Telesur’s generous funding from other anti-American regimes like Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. This isn’t journalism; it’s a propaganda machine designed to demonize the U.S., promote socialist fantasies, and prop up dictators. Yet somehow, this is what the Biden State Department thought was appropriate to beam into its offices.
The channel was removed from State Department TVs after this embarrassing revelation, but the question remains: Why was it there in the first place? Are we supposed to believe this was an innocent mistake? Or maybe just another example of Biden-world incompetence? Either way, it’s a terrible look. Imagine being a taxpayer and realizing that while inflation eats into your paycheck, your government was tuning into anti-American propaganda on your dime. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it?
NEW: Biden State Department TVs were tuned into the Venezuelan state-funded propaganda outlet, TeleSur. The channel was founded by Hugo Chavez and pushed anti-American sentiments.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) saw the problem with Telesur years ago. Back in 2018, he called for the DOJ to investigate the channel under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), arguing that Telesur operates as an unregistered foreign agent for Venezuela. And he’s right. This isn’t a “news” outlet in any meaningful sense of the word. It’s a state-sponsored mouthpiece churning out fake news, disinformation, and whatever anti-American narrative Maduro and his pals dream up. Wilson even compared it to Russia’s infamous RT, and let’s be honest—it’s a fair comparison. Both channels excel at painting the West as evil, hypocritical, and corrupt, all while their own governments crumble under the weight of their failed ideologies.
It’s telling that other nations have already wised up to Telesur’s nonsense. Argentina, once a founding funder of the network, cut ties in 2016 under then-President Mauricio Macri, saying, “No, thanks” to bankrolling socialist propaganda. Uruguay followed suit in 2020. If these countries—some of which aren’t exactly conservative bastions—can see through the garbage, why on earth was this nonsense allowed to play in the heart of the U.S. State Department?

Let’s call this what it is: another symptom of a Biden administration that’s perpetually asleep at the wheel. Whether it’s letting a balloon from China lazily drift across the country, mismanaging the border, or allowing taxpayer-funded offices to stream anti-American propaganda, the pattern is clear. They’re either hopelessly inept or willfully blind to threats against American interests. Take your pick.
Telesur is just another piece of the socialist puzzle—a tool to spread anti-American rhetoric while covering up the misery socialism brings. And the fact that this channel even made its way into a U.S. government office says a lot about where our priorities are (or aren’t) under Biden’s leadership. Maybe next time the administration can try something truly unique: putting America’s interests first. Novel idea, huh?
