Former president Morales of Bolivia has fled the country for safe haven in Mexico. He resigned a few days ago when it became clear that the army was not going to support him after he was caught rigging the presidential elections. The situation in La Paz is still chaotic as Morales departs. One would think that the US media would cheer for the end of the rule of a man who has been a dictator in Bolivia for over a decade. That's not the case, however. Morales, was -- you see -- a Socialist.
Bloomberg News actually put out a report that called Morales' tenure atop Bolivia "an eviable record of success." The guy's a crook and a despot, but since he is a socialist (nominally) the Bloomberg crew think he was a success. They don't care what he did, only what he said.
