Comment Re:US does not recognize Maduro's government (Score 1) 146

Nobody is going to do anything of consequence, because it's Venezuela.

The other SA countries might try to improve their defences. Greenland definitely will.

Anyone else notice that the US legal position is now that foreign presidents can be held accountable to US law, but the President of the United States can't be?

Submission + - US strikes Venezuela, says leader Maduro has been captured, flown out of country (apnews.com) 5

divide overflow writes: CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” early Saturday and said its president, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured and flown out of the country after months of stepped-up pressure by Washington — an extraordinary nighttime operation announced by President Donald Trump on social media hours after the attack.

It's not news, it's low quality political debate. They get a panel of guests in, usually a politician from the two main parties and one other, and a couple of journalists or businesspeople or charity workers.

The audience asks some questions related to current events, and each member of the panel gives an answer. The politicians just repeat the party talking points and focus group approved phrases. The journalists give ideological answers.

There is a strong right wing bias. The moderator is biased, the choice of guests heavily favours the right wing. In the political side they keep having the far right on, but very rarely anyone from even the moderate left. As this study shows, for journalists it's mostly the far right ones too.

The BBC isn't supposed to have a party line. This show has a moderator, but they typically do not express their own opinions. The one they have now is right leaning anyway.

The sister programme Any Questions on Radio 4 is much better. Better moderators, better guests, better questions and debate. Question Time should be better.
