THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.

      if you think all of .ml is out of line, do what the rest of us do and instance block. however you are saying something completely out of alignment with any of what the rest of us can find and are absolutely certain you’re correct. all the rest of us are asking is that you direct us in a way that helps us understand where you’re coming from. Trump is chummy with dictators, but specifically nuclear ones. i don’t recall him ever palling around with Maduro. it seems to me that the US military has kidnapped him

      Maduro willingly got on the helicopter because he wanted to leave the country.

        The dude was about to flee the country this year as the 40% unemployment mob caught up to him to skin him alive.

        Maduro was going to leave Venezuela this year anyway, this lets him save face and Trump gets a way to manufacture conflict.
