They never did find any evidence of fraud in the October 20th election, but the media repeated the allegation so many times that it became "true," in this post-truth world. Thread:https://twitter.com/MarkWeisbrot/status/1193629359925579776 …

The latest OAS "audit", repeats a major falsehood from their previous reports, pretending that there was an "unusual" jump in Evo's vote margin towards the end of the quick count. But the change was in fact gradual, as later-reporting areas were more pro-Evo than earlier ones:pic.twitter.com/oFiUFFAl5H
This fight is not over yet. The right-wing forces who have pulled off this coup with help from Rubio & the Trump administration still have to deal with the 47% of the country who, despite a media onslaught, voted for Evo. Bolivians may need international support for their safety.
And this is still a military coup. Nobody voted for Williams Kaliman, the Commander of the Bolivian Armed Forces. Some of the major media are already burying the fact it was he who pushed Evo out of the Presidency. Bolivia no longer has an elected, legitimate government.
Thanks for the updates, Mark. What's the next step likely to be, do you think - an imposed right-wing government, fresh elections (!) or a military junta?
You mean to tell me the corporate media lied about an election so much that a critical mass of idiots came to believe the lie? Where ever could they have gotten that idea from? It sounds familiar, but I just can’t remember why...
And of course, though I wish it went without saying, this situation in Bolivia is screwed up and despicable. US manipulation abroad is a shame and stain on our republic.
oh shut up! you don’t know a thing about what’s happening here! once you put a foot in my country you’ll know what’s really happening!!
