If you want to really get both sides of the Bolivian coup they should interview the Christian extremists actually taking over, not some liberal native informants that went to elite US schools.THS posted:greyzone is rapidly becoming one of the better places to get foreign policy reporting That's why they are all going to be arrested

Democrats have only ever flirted with anti-interventionism, mostly to contain leftist movements, and I feel like since WW2 there's only been a handful of House members who would call themselves anti-imperialist. Those were mostly in the Black Caucus too before weapons manufacturers realized they could largely buy off that group, either directly or by investing in their districts.

comedyblissoption posted:lol that there's such extreme and utter unanimous conformity on what is going on in bolivia among the mainstream american news As an ex-liberal I can assure you, it doesn't occur to them to question why the news is all in agreement, because to them that just means it's obviously true. The idea of media bias only comes up as a way to disparage conservative and leftist outlets, so mainstream reporting gets about as much ideological scrutiny for international news as it does for the weather report or sports scores.

Can any one recommend me an article or some other resource that summarizes what's going on with the coup in Bolivia? Specifically, something that addresses the charges of election fraud on the part of Morales, connections of the military/coup leaders with the US, and the timeline? This all popped up when I was in the middle of alot of stuff at work and I haven't been able to keep up.
