BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Venezuela's government faces critical scrutiny: consulted media outlets (Efecto Cocuyo, Runrun.es) focus on the political management of the crisis as much as the raw numbers

Preference for official statistical reports: successive government reports (Jorge Rodríguez, National Assembly) structure the bulk of quantitative coverage

Limited coverage of government voices defending their own actions: available articles come almost exclusively from independent media critical of the executive branch
