Media Bias Fact Check | bot support
Hi, MBFC bot, you forgot to account for the fact that this is a wire story from the Agence France-Presse, one of the best, most credible news agencies in the world. As usual, you’re less than worthless.

Oh, what’s that watermark at the bottom right? Oh, the site whose bread and butter is unsubstantiated, pseudoscientific conspiracy theories? Wow, I’m so surprised. I guess astrophysics journals aren’t credible now either because some shitty flat Earth website says they’re all secretly controlled by NASA.
Wikipedia? The same Wikipedia that once claimed David Beckham was an 18th century Chinese goalkeeper?
Yes, we all know how Fox News and NPR collude…
Look, I’m pretty positive about VOA generally, but when a ‘fact checker’ marks it as less biased than AP, the fact checker needs to sit down and rethink its life.
Venezuela was stable?
still is. it just hasn’t been properly mucked out.
of course. Stability means consistency.
Venezuela has consistently been unstable
ergo: Venezuela has been stable.
In the dictatorship sense that the army supports Maduro I guess.
Coin flip… just random schmo’s rounded up and trotted out as proof of evil american imperialism OR actual CIA spooks doing nasty things.
I’m more inclined to believe the former as Maduro has gone fully of the deep end to stay in power.
But the CIA have a long history of the latter and have attempted to overthrow the Venezuelan government before.
Oh, I’m sure that’s entirely possible, I just don’t believe the Venezuelan government would be able to capture them.
Probably true, but at this moment I think the more likey scenario is the other one. At this moment the cia does not need to do a lot as the venezuelan government is busy shooting their own foot.
I don’t think this government needs any help, they’re doing fine on their own.
