A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Being There - In Venezuela - Craig Murray I have now been in Caracas for 48 hours and the contrast between what I have seen, and what I had read in the mainstream media, could not be more stark. I drove right through Caracas, from the airport...

"...the stark contradiction between actual Caracas and Western media Caracas is so extreme that I can bring it to you immediately"

"Pretty well everything that I have read by Western journalists which can be... ....turns out to be an absolute lie."

Journalism, media, and technology trends and predictions 2026 Our annual survey of media leaders from across the world explores publishers' priorities for the year ahead, the challenges they envision and how well equipped they are to address them.

Reuters Institute’s 2026 predictions are bleak... Media leaders expect trust in journalism to keep falling, hit by #AI, increased reliance on non-journalists (creators/influencers), verbal attacks by politicians. But isn’t this precisely when trusted, high-quality, accurate journalism matters most?!
