  • Biased, shallow news coverage

    Really disappointed with the coverage on Venezuela. There’s been a few different stories where the human rights abuses and political repression of Nicholas Maduró haven’t even been touched on. It’s just bizarre. The BBC needs to work much harder to gain back trust as a reputable, unbiased news organisation.
