Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado returns after months in exile

What the coverage shows

Across the coverage, every outlet centers María Corina Machado’s return to Venezuela after months in exile, and several note her Nobel Peace Prize status. The Associated Press, BBC News, and Al Jazeera foreground the public welcome, with the AP and Al Jazeera emphasizing crowds, while NPR, NBC News, CNN, and The Guardian US lean more on her own announcement or political significance. Only The Independent and The Economist explicitly frame the return around implications for U.S. politics or democracy, and CBS News alone says she left in a covert U.S.-backed rescue operation.
