You know, when you put it that way, I'm not sure the criticism itself is even useful. Shouldn't it be enough to state the facts, and let someone decide for themselves whether or not the person is a dictator? "X has been frequently criticised" is a statement I think we should avoid. Quoting prominent figures is fine, mentioning rallys and other organized protests is OK. But just taking a general sentiment and applying it to a country, for instance, is not appropriate in my book (unless you can cite a poll I'd even say it amounts to non-verifiable/original research).
Agree. I was thinking in terms of quotes from the US Secretary of State or something. Not just "Lots of Americans hate X" :)
