New York Times: No Pretense of Objectivity in its Reporting on Venezuela

Two articles in today's New York Times on the upcoming presidential elections in Venezuela. Maduro is an autocrat and if the photo that accompanies one of the articles is any indication, he has little support. In contrast Maria Corina Machado, the main opposition leader, has massive support. But not one word about the crippling sanctions and the blackmail of the U.S. government: vote for the main opposition candidate and we'll lift the sanctions; elect Maduro and the sanctions continue. Furthermore, the word "autocrat" is misleading; you have to make a distinction between electoral fraud, which the articles don't accuse Maduro of carrying out, and electoral manipulation which we have here in the states and everybody knows it. There's not even the pretense in the NY Times reporting on Venezuela of presenting the other side of the story. No objectivity whatsoever.
