17 days after I filed a complaint, @BBCWorld have FINALLY corrected their article on the #Tienditas bridge on the #Venezuela - Colombia border to state that it was never opened.

It's a very late correction, and still no mention of the wider context such as Red Cross and UN statements against as highlighted by @adamjohnsonNYC in this excellent article: fair.org/home/western-media-…

WOW: Canada public broadcaster admits media claims that Maduro blocked #Tienditas bridge in #Venezuela to stop humanitarian aid were false. Yet US media & pols are STILL spreading this blatant fake news. Is US establishment using Hitler's "big lie" method? cbc.ca/news/world/venezuela-…

Good to see @CBCWorldNews have finally put out the facts about #Tienditas bridge. A week late is better than nothing. Still nothing from @BBCNews @BBCWorld.
How a bridge between Colombia and Venezuela become part of a propaganda fight cbc.ca/news/world/venezuela-…
Remember that time when Bush blocked vital aid offered by Vzlan President Hugo Chavez to ppl of New Orleans? MSM never called Dubya a “dictator” for letting his own ppl die. Contrast w/ propaganda barrage demonizing Maduro w/ Elliot Abrams behind the wheel theguardian.com/world/2005/s…

We came to Caracas to break the media blockade and amplify the voices of Venezuelans who are being ignored by corporate media Here is @AnyaParampil’s report on the millions across Venezuela who waited in line for hours to sign an open letter opposing US intervention & aggression

Replying to @RT
@RT have now corrected their reporting of the "blockade" of the unopened #Tienditas bridge. Will @BBCNews now do the same?
US officials and media say #Venezuela is blocking humanitarian aid – and use a picture of the bridge that had never been open on.rt.com/9o6b

The @guardian also reported this without context. Will they now update to indicate that the bridge had never been opened? Will they report that the US seem to have deliberately sent their aid convoy to a bridge they knew was never opened? theguardian.com/world/2019/f…

The Independent claimed that Venezuela blocked the bridge with "makeshift fencing" last week, when in fact it had been in place for years. Will @Independent, known in the UK for reporting which challenges interventionism, now correct their article? independent.co.uk/news/world…

The @BBCNews @BBCWorld story still suggests the bridge can "reopen" without mentioning the fact that it never opened. I have so far received no response to my complaint submitted via the BBC website on Friday. bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-a…

Marco Rubio, as usual lying about Venezuela. They don't really care about the people. Only justify the military intervention. teapawt.net/marcorubio/status/1093…
This is aerial image of how #Maduro has moved to block the entrance of humanitarian aid for the people of #Venezuela. Denying people food & medicine is a crime against humanity.

WOW: the #Tienditas Bridge in #Venezuela that Maduro has supposedly blocked to "keep US aid from starving people" has actually never been opened. Ask yourself: why is mass media spreading fake news to help Trump manufacture an excuse to invade Venezuela? medium.com/@justin.emery/the…
