BALTIMORE, MAY 1, 2013-The BBC reports today that Bolivian authorities are so outraged at comments made by secretary of state John Kerry that they have decided to tell a United States Aid Agency to pack up and go home. This, despite the country's profoundly desperate need for foreign aid. A Bolivian spokesman told the BBC that elitist comments by other obama administration functionaries have already strained relations between the USA and the Latin American nation to the breaking point. When Kerry, in a speech, referred to Bolivia and neighboring countries as the US's "backyard," it was the last straw.
But don't expect to read further details of the Kerry faux pas in the leftist drive by media; in the USA, if the news doesn't make obama look good, it's not really fit to print. That's why there are so many americans who are surprised when someone tells them that, in truth, obama is quite the fool. Hundreds of years ago, Milton said that in a free marketplace of ideas, the truth will emerge.
Trouble is, in America, you have to read the foreign press to take advantage of that marketplace. The left has much of the American media in a vice grip and most reporters are little more than obama bootlickers and functionaries. In England the media is made up of left-leaning types also. But in their case these liberal folk have way too much integrity to become shills for a backwater marxist like obama.
