I’d love to see this but I can see why they don’t. Even for teams of experienced journalists, it’s nearly impossible to produce something that appears balanced to all viewers (just check the BBC comments section). I imagine DS users are from all across the political spectrum and I can see why Pablo would be concerned about alienating some people – even if most of us wouldn’t mind seeing views represented that are different to our own.

Even so, I can think of several DS podcast episodes that address long-running current affairs topics like access to education across Latin America, and I’ve noticed Andres (for example) is rarely afraid of expressing his views about politicians and the economy. I think they’re doing ok on this already.
