Reading the "War and Peace Report", Amy Goodman says that five "pro-Morales demonstrators" were killed in "clashes with police." Not "pro-democracy demonstrators", but "pro-Morales." She then says that "many people claim" that Morales's ousting was "a coup." In contrast to this cagey and circumspect reporting, the rioters in Hong Kong are repeatedly referred to as "pro-democracy protestors." Democracy Now! is usually excellent, but at times it's little better than MSNBC or CNN. |
