11/18/19 Ted Snider on the Bolivian Coup America’s Always Wanted

Scott interviews Ted Snider about his recent article, “Finally Got Him,” which explores the details behind the coup in Bolivia. Although it’s being held up as a triumph of democracy, Snider says this is obviously a coup, just like recent cases in Venezuela, Brazil, Ukraine, and many others. “Democracy”, in fact, pretty much just means whatever political outcome is favorable to the U.S. government. And for some reason, the puppets in the mainstream media are perfectly happy not to question any aspect of the standard narrative or do any real investigative reporting.

Discussed on the show:

  • “Finally Got Him: The Bolivian Coup” (Antiwar.com Original)
  • “Massacre in Cochabamba: Anti-Indigenous Violence Escalates as Mass Protests Denounce Coup in Bolivia” (Democracy Now)
