=== Criticism === The usage of the term ''dictator'' in western media has been criticized by the left-leaning organization [[Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting]] as "Code for Government We Don't Like". According to them, leaders that would generally be considered authoritarian but are allied with the United States such as [[Paul Biya]] or [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]] are rarely referred to as "dictators", while leaders of countries opposed to U.S. policy such as [[Nicolás Maduro]] or [[Bashar al-Assad]] have the term applied to them much more liberally.<ref>{{cite web|date=2019-04-11|title=Dictator: Media Code for 'Government We Don't Like'|url=https://fair.org/home/dictator-media-code-for-government-we-dont-like/|access-date=2021-04-07|website=FAIR|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416210800/https://fair.org/home/dictator-media-code-for-government-we-dont-like/|url-status=live}}</ref>
