WaPo: Bolivia is in danger of slipping into anarchy. It’s Evo Morales’s fault.

(Washington Post, 11/1/19 ([link removed]) )

This week on counterspin: The Washington Post doesn't want you to be confused, so they headlined their editorial ([link removed]) , "Bolivia Is in Danger of Slipping Into Anarchy. It’s Evo Morales’s Fault." Elite US media, you understand, are deeply invested in the well-being of Bolivia's people, who are in uproar after a coup ousting Morales, over charges of irregularities in the recent election that appear to have no evidential grounding—nor, in media's view, to require any. Back in 2006, US media were counseling ([link removed]) Morales that policies like nationalizing the country's gas industry were popular but "not the answer to Bolivia’s problems.” Their preferred answer, judging by today's coverage ([link removed]) , is
celebrating the extra-legal pushout of the country's first indigenous president, and welcoming the self-declared leadership of a legislator who has tweeted that she "dream[s] of a Bolivia free of satanic indigenous rites." That's the topsy-turvy world of elite US media's "concerned" foreign policy. Which is why we'll look for a different view from Alex Main, director of international policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
