The Ukraine is at least the 80th time the United States has organized a coup or a failed coup in a foreign country since 1953. The media is a cheer leader for the current coups in the Ukraine and Venezuela. The Western media as it exists today under near-monopoly corporate ownership is a more sophisticated and total propaganda system than early 20th century propagandists ever dreamed of. As media corporations profit from Western geopolitical and commercial expansion, the propaganda function that supports that expansion is an integrated part of their business model, not something exceptional they do under duress from the state. But to expect factual journalism about U.S. coups from such firms is to misunderstand who and what they are.
