Barghouti has been kept in jail by Israel for more than 20 years. He has frequently been kept in solitary confinement without access to his family, and has allegedly suffered four major beatings inside prison since 2023.

As a journalist if you write about Venezuela and don't go into why Chavez won power, what the political landscape was like before that, and the measures the US and allies have taken to impoverish Venezuelans and destroy the Venezuelan economy since, you're writing propaganda.

Note to those in Australia who call themselves journalists: the government doesn’t have to “defend” itself to opposition criticism (nor visa versa, actually). They can answer it, but “defend” is pejorative and carries subtext. In an adversarial system, language matters, and your bias is showing.
