telesur

So, there's some important context on this outlet that I think should be posted:

Telesur (stylized as teleSUR) is a Latin American terrestrial and satellite news television network headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela, and sponsored by the governments of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

— Wikipedia

I distrust the U.S. – especially the current admin – plenty. Election interference would be neither surprising or new. But considering how this is a biased source at best, I don't think it's very trustworthy either. I'm open to the possibility, but I'm not taking it from this site.

Edit: After some light digging, here's some other reading options:
