I agree. Mentioning Uribe's popularity indices would have been good. I appreciate the feedback. Hay que escuchar la opinion de la gente, y siempre tratar de aprender y mejorarse uno.

While this article is not technically biased or subjective, the lack of greater context makes it look a bit unbalanced. A reader unfamiliar with the topic might get the impression that the opposition is strong and completely justified. Some information on how the reelection process has developed might provide some argument in favor of the separation of powers, and maybe some note on how strong the president’s internal popularity is despite exterior criticism.

She would have been narrow-minded and subjective if she LEFT OUT that information. Especially since the forum revolved around students questioning his third term (most of them did). I actually thought it was very objective and well-written. Good job Michelle! Good coverage Blast! Mitch, She is just informing what happened.

This is a balanced article stating what happened during his visit. The fact that the protestors were there claiming things you don't agree with doesn't mean you can blame the reporter for stating them. This is a journalist who is famous in Colombia and has gained a reputation for being objective and professional. I believe she actually is Uribista, in fact. It's true many back Uribe, but the majority although they back him, they also agree that a third term would not be the best choice for the people. Michelle, keep up the great work... I know many, many people are proud of you and this article. You are the best! Keep your head up, and only listen to constructive criticism when it's constructive. Great article! =) Mitch, I completely disagree. This is a balanced article stating what happened during his visit.

The uptight and wealthy colombians who can afford to go to Harvard obviously do not benefit from him governing, but truth is that the millions of signatures already recollected in the country show that common people would like him to govern again. Do a better job next time choosing your reporters Blast, this article just sucks.
