    Jeet Heer Retweeted New York Times World

    It's a scandal that America's leading paper doesn't understand that the political spectrum in other nations is often wider than -- or just different than -- what is found in the USA. It's an unbecoming provincialism.https://twitter.com/nytimesworld/status/1472698108551254025 …

    After a high stakes election, Gabriel Boric was elected Chile’s president, the nation’s youngest leader and by far its most liberal since President Salvador Allende. https://nyti.ms/3meYzyE

        From a historical perspective mislabeling him a “liberal” may save his life.

        Given they don't seem to believe the US political spectrum is broader then the habituates of a single diner in Findlay Ohio, I give them credit for knowing Chile exists at all.
