📑🖊 OPINION | Ballots and Bias: How the Press Framed Venezuela’s Regional and Legislative Elections Roger D. Harris analyzes how Western media framed Venezuela’s recent regional and legislative elections, where the pro-government alliance won 253 out of 285 National Assembly seats and all but one governorship.
