3:14 pm
a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting it's very likely that they will see me and want my head to say that is not the divisions are caused by racism that they persecute us as bolivia and it's those from i'll tell you they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to love it on tuesday bolivian senator janine on years declared herself into him president of bolivia and was sworn in by her allies artie's donald quarter picks up the story. a new force has seized bolivia's political reins her name is janine is and she's just declared herself interim president but if you did as president of the senate i immediately take on the state presidency for singing in the constitution and i swear to undertake all the measures necessary to bring peace to the country i guess has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of omar alice who was forced to resign several days ago after the army dropped its support she invoked the constitution to
3:15 pm
justify getting the top job and has called for new elections but i guess herself wasn't actually elected she was just next in line after the president vice president and head of the senate all relinquish their posts even the legislature itself didn't really elect her because morales supporters boycotted that session now the real people who put her in power they're a colorful bunch. meet mr camacho he was part of a gang that wasted little time ransacking morales is former home. but these trespassers weren't just a bunch of thieves they were searching for a more spiritual experience here's camacho and his buddies praying with a bible after breaking into the house one of their supporters praised it as christ's return to the bolivian government the bible is returning to the government
3:16 pm
palace never again will the pacha moment go to this return today christ is returning to the government powerless to live is for christ but you don't see that 2nd coming but then again come on shows long had a unique take on the lord's work he spent years leading a religious fundamentalist organization called the santa cruz youth union aside from its reputation for p.t. it's also a purveyor of right wing ideology how far to the right. well it doesn't get much farther than this you. get. a sizable number of the opposition's activists may be a bit unhinged but it's the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before moralists and lost another election to him in october the think tank inter-american dialogue lists him as an expert on its website it's d.c.

based and u.s. government funded but may says connections to washington run far deeper than that according to wiki leaks he was corresponding with the u.s. embassy in bolivia for years discussing the details of his political strategy no less in a meeting with the charge on october the 27th messam all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking the quick zadok of trying to defeat it of course that makes the white house pretty happy the resignation yesterday of bolivian president evo morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isn't being 100 percent cooperative right now or does then you have refused to coordinate with the
3:18 pm
national police or you are staying the military's being overtaken by crew no parades which are disappearing to capital as ability and do your job we do not want more you would be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i had made as a president i stand for the crimes and it will be your responsibility and his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law but it's going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin america's latest political vacuum human rights lawyer told is the media can manipulate perceptions of the situation in bolivia with selective coverage. this is a race is skewed when it is now turning very violent by the police against the indigenous population who are if you support or out now have been well documented in the western press those gently the western press supports the coup against murali this is a classic you know media manipulation situation the chance you know wrote about

a top media organization facing scrutiny over a controversial leaked video in case you've forgotten it makes for interesting viewing it was unbelievable what we had claimed we had everything. i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now it's all coming out and thinking well of revelations well we had it was unreal there were no backing out. for years ago now you could work to improve your credibility apologize or make amends or just brush it under the carpet and direct your efforts at finding and firing the alleged whistleblower to try to ensure they never work in news again the executives at america's a.b.c. network have been busy doing just that the person calling themselves the whistleblower claims the company has been searching staff e-mails and logs to find the culprit really employees and encouraging them to turn in the snitch instead of

both c.b.s. and. a.b.c. for further comment the latter have already said they never stopped looking into the obscene story and will release a 2 hour documentary plus a podcast sometime next year of the high standards of mainstream media are admirable so high in fact that even those who cover well media didn't find anything interesting untoward or newsworthy in the a.b.c. will supply of story n.p.r.'s on the media funded partially with taxpayer dollars hasn't mentioned the story neither have many others in the days following the scandal there seem to be almost no mention of the story on m s n b c c.b.s. america's a.b.c. or n.b.c. news it's like in never happened all the facts were simply reported from a.b.c.'s version of events like the new york times did but meeting standards seems to be a bit of a pattern take road and pharo one of the journalists who broke the harvey weinstein story and works in a n
