  As an aside, I thought the BBC telling it's "journalists" not to call it a kidnapping was the most hilarious thing to come from this: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2026/01/05/bbc-maduro-venezuela/ https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2026/01/05/bbc-maduro-v... > “Kidnapping” is an uncomfortable word. It suggests force, illegality and wrongdoing. “Captured” sounds more respectable. It belongs to the language of war. “Seized” sounds calmer still — almost administrative, like someone found it on a supermarket shelf.

      Be curious about what conservative and liberal media agree on, within that intersection are the only lies that actually matter.
