Against the Coup After They Were For It

The New York Times: the gift that keeps on giving.

Yesterday I reminded you of the paper’s nauseating role in the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez. Naturally they whitewashed this from their coverage of his death.

Today they editorialized this hilarious nugget:

“The Bush administration badly damaged Washington’s reputation throughout Latin America when it unwisely blessed a failed 2002 military coup attempt against Mr. Chávez. The United States should now make clear its support for democratic and civilian transition.”

Um, what?!? The Paper of Record pretends there is no record. So which Times do we believe: the fascist pro-coup rag, or the lofty pro-democracy journal?
