The Economist has always been lacklustre in its regional coverage, but this note linked right here, full of half-truths and revisionist history (example " Mr Goldberg’s offence was merely to have met opposition governors.".........LOL!!!) on the state of play between Bolivia and the USA really takes the biscuit. Don't they know that Goldberg is in the caca in his own State Dep't due to the way he cocked it up in Bolivia? Even this humble blogger knows more than The Economist about the latest developments, it seems. The Economist may cover other parts of the world well, but in LatAm it has royally sucked for years and there's nothing to suggest the pattern is about to change, either.The thing that annoys is that there are plenty of informed people all over the globe that trust The Economist implicitly; it never crosses their minds that their fave magazine would try to unduly spin and influence their opinion. Nah...these clowns actually think the tail wags the dog; they think they can read The Economist then form their own informed opinion a posteriori.
Delusion.
If you want to know what has really been happening in Bolivia and the dirty tricks being used by the US and its propaganda machine, just click the name "Philip Goldberg" on the tagline under here. Or better still, click here and go to Abiding In Bolivia because El Duderino knocks spots off the MSM when it comes to Bolivia coverage.
