So, this is how CNN was describing Pinochet's reign:
Leftists have accused him of ordering the torture and death of thousands of leftists during his regime. But he had also been praised for having attracted foreign investment to the country.
For one thing, the allegations against Pinochet are far more than accusations from one part of the political spectrum. But what got me was this ... In what universe does torturing and murdering thousands is "on the one hand" to "on the other hand" of attracting foreign investment. How about this, then::
"Jews have accused Hitler of killing millions during his regime. But he had also been praised for ramping up German industrialists' profit."

The depravity is taunting. The habitual slur, "leftist", is employed to denigrate the murder charge. One could see through this if aware that the charges are not leftist or if one thinks about the equation being made. Are the propaganda targets waking up?
Imagine the prison the authors of this shit are in: the hand that feeds me sometimes murders. FREE THE CAPITALISTS!
