2014 Ukraine Crisis
Infobae was accused by the pro-Russian government news organization, RT, of intentionally manipulating information on the 2014 Ukrainian crisis to place favor on an American point of view.
Murder of Robert Serra
On 10 October 2014, the Venezuelan government under President Nicolás Maduro censored Infobae in Venezuela due to the publication of photos the recently murdered PSUV member Robert Serra saying it was against Venezuelan law, caused psychological warfare and was dishonorable to Serra and his family. Infobae responded by accusing the Maduro government of practicing a double standard since the Venezuelan government publishes photos of dead Palestinian children in order to accuse Israel of war crimes.
