    I distinctly remember them manufacturing consent that led in some small part to normalizing support for the coup in Bolivia – accusing MAS of being on par with ecoterrorists, claiming Morales was more fascist than socialist, repeatedly calling Bolivia “extractivist”.

    Those articles are difficult to find, now, and it seems like they’ve rectified their line… after the coup occured and was subsequently squashed. Opportunists.

      This. I also remember being told that Morales was the equivalent of a dictator, that they don’t agree with the politics of the interim government but it’s complicated and we just need new elections that preclude Morales running again.
