U.S. Media

Evo Morales gave a speech in which he criticized the U.S. decision to cut military aid (however, see this excellent discussion of how very little military aid is really being cut). CNN seems to be following in the NYT’s footsteps by using hyperbole to make things look as bad as possible—part of the headline is that Morales “rips U.S.” but then the article has only very mild examples from the speech.

In the speech he also said he wanted his followers to launch a movement to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, which would make it harder for the U.S. to bother him. Solid logic, though I'm not sure that simply winning an election will do the trick...
