    A summary of the current US elections in the language and reporting style US media routinely uses for reporting on elections in the global south.

    This piece is satire. It’s intentionally mischaracterizing to highlight how often US media woefully mischaracterizes the nuances of other countries.

    In that way it’s kind of similar to you accusing Al Jazeera of having no idea what they’re talking about, when you’ve failed to understand what they’re talking about.

      Exactly. I thought I was reading an article in Private Eye.

      “It’s all ajoke” is the last refuge of the defenseless.

        It’s okay to admit that you bit the onion on this one. The world is crazy enough that it happens to everyone.
