A mistake adding i should not have been there correspondent ferrand fronsac is going to be along in just a little bit with more on this developing story while on the subject of apologies heres an interesting story we need to bring you the New York Times is acknowledging that the people of bolivia all but had their election stolen from them the times now writes that socalled Election Fraud. Fraud in bolivia that was used as an excuse or a pretense to remove a democratically elected president that fraud accusation they say it was a lie. Think about what i just said so evo morellos was elected. Really it seems and democratically within less than 48 hours after he was elected the European Union the organization of american states and the United States state department declared his Election Fraudulent which fomented a coup causing the elected president to leave the country only to be replaced by a new president one that is more to the liking of washington and the oas and the e. U. So shouldnt surprise anyone that this type of foreign election meddling took place should surprise anybody that the socalled fraudulent election used to remove a president turns out now to be not a fraud. No it should not surprise you in fact it does not surprise you not if you regularly watch this newscast i want to take you back 4 months ago february 27th right here on this set when i reported what the New York Times is reporting now. His election was fraudulent they said well theres now a group of experts who have come forward theyve looked through all the details the Statistical Analysis and what they have concluded is the election was clean. That was me then so here i have now tell you whats going on with the New York Times because now 4 months later the New York Times is admitting that the socalled Election Fraud conclusion was flawed thats the word they use in their article but thats not where they leave the story interestingly enough then in what appears like a case of double speak the New York Times is writing that it doesnt mean that the election in bolivia was free and fair. And they cite a source who says quote there was fraud we just dont know how much but which is it i mean if youll pardon me for the journalistic comparison here its kind of like saying that look theres no proof that i rick sanchez beat my wife but theres evidence somewhere they just dont know how much. By the way by that standard let me also ask this question what election anywhere in the world including ours is perfectly fair and without criticism and one more question. What happens now i mean does that guy the elected official president evo morales does he get his office back and he was seemingly according to the New York Times cheated out of. This is the news with rick sanchez again where we cover a story you will simply not see anywhere on c. N. N. Or on fox or on the b. B. C. Or on n. B. C. Because we believe its time to do news again. Here is our list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow after watching our newscast tonight is evo morales election if it wasnt fraudulent why isnt the president should a show about cops where a death occurred be canceled and despite the sino us friction is wild way fix sure that simply will not go away. Lets go ahead and begin with the very latest now from bolivia a country where like so many before it had foreign meddling in its election. If you have latin american roots as i do by the way you would know that this has been going on in that part of the world for more than a century really and apparently its still going on here with more on this story is our to correspondent john harvey. In december 2019 the New York Times published a story titled Election Fraud aided evo morales International Panel concludes with a subhead about the charges of voting fraud that led to protests and the exile of bolivian president evo morales being confirmed in a final report by the washington d. C. Based think tank the organization of american states or oas for short the oas report concluded that bolivias election was marred by widespread deliberate fraud well fast forward to june 7th and a long piece in the times sunday edition last week about a bitter election accusations of fraud and now 2nd thoughts about those accusations oh boy the times writes that a new study by independent researchers quote using data obtained by the New York Times from the bolivian electoral authorities has found the oas is Statistical Analysis was itself flawed why because it relied on incorrect data and inappropriate statistical techniques. The Election Fraud allegations led to violent protests in bolivia and charges against morale is terrorism and sedition braless fled bolivia to mexico city on nov 10th and was granted political asylum replacing him as interim president was janine on yes religious conservative of european descent backed by the United States who stands as a contrast to morality is socialist party and Indigenous Roots u. S. Officials and some academics quickly supported the oas his findings and morality his ouster in fact u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei a tweeted back in november quote fully support the for. Findings of the oas official report recommending new elections in bolivia to ensure a truly democratic process representative of the peoples will the credibility of the electoral system must be restored its noted that there was likely some Election Fraud in bolivia so how much and where remains unclear the oas report was done quickly so its likely not all of the election data was thoroughly analyzed further some argue that the medias akko chamber added to the overall contention and confusion in a feb 27th in the Washington Post to noted mit researchers disputed the oas report saying their Research Found no reason to suspect fraud writing that quote the media has largely reported the allegations of fraud as fact and former alice meanwhile is now in argentina where he was granted Refugee Status and continues to rail against what he calls the u. S. Backed coup that drove him from office 7 months later there are still no elected government and no official new election date for the news with rick sanchez john hardy joining us now r. J. Producer of latin america expert who holds a ph d. On the subject Enrique Rivera thanks america for joining us. Here you have a guy who was elected who is not the president and it turns out that the reason we used to get him out of there was wrong fraudulent i mean is he going to get is is he going to get his job back thats a complicated question and im going to give you a complicated answer no. No hes not going to get word of it right theyre not going to give him his job back he is in exile in argentina theyve been pushing the elections back back back back to be in december march may now theyre saying september this will be a caretaker government that held the held reins for 3 months and theyve been holding on to it for this long this reminds me of this rule in journalism that we all study when we go to journalism school. That its not correct to do a correction too long d after word because it has no value if i put today in the rick sanchez herald or the r t herald that Enrique Rivera is a wife beater back on that subject and then id never touch it again its out there for 4 months people are hearing and reading that youre a wife beater and then somehow 4 months later i say oh by the way we were wrong hes not a wife beater youve done the damage the damage is done the people lost their president they lost their election they lost faith in their election the damage is insured mountable almost at my crazy no youre not crazy youre absolutely right and i mean we need to look at this as a crime this was a terrible terrible crime we put together a slide that kind of indicates how radical a change has been made so. The bolivian people voted for someone who is a staunch opponent to us interventionism and who runs a mixed economy which has benefited by lifting a lot of people out of poverty lets look at Foreign Policy they allowed us aid back into the country that have been banned in 2013 for funding the opposition funneling millions of dollars to them establish relations with israel called embassies in iran and if i were recognized as president this all falls in line with the u. S. And what they term a countrys policies upside down overtly upside down lets go to the economic stuff that they that they that theyve changed so weve talked a lot about lithium and lithium production and how important this was in the role that this may have played in the coup so the bolivian government ran state spots they ran Production Enterprises related to with lithium these production processes have halted completely and the government has called for International Investment like i said this is a crime no this is this this country has been completely looted and and its really unfortunate well see in september if theyre allowed to have for. In Fair Elections like they had last time luis who is a member of morales his party is leading all the polls lets see if they let him win you know its funny how when i turn on the television here in the United States and i turn on whatever m s n b c in particular all i hear is about no one has the right to meddle in another countrys election especially when they try to get in there with like with social media and tweets and. Weve done this we do it all the time this is where is this story and im no defender of morale is i mean i think its a little bit of a lefty you know but they elected him thats their guy not mine what the hell business is it of ours weve got to stop doing this it seems. But it just doesnt seem right no its not right and were at a time where the New York Times is issuing a policy and editors are getting fired left and right. We should see the same thing with international thats a good point its a good point thanks so much and great point. And this is the news were. Watching our special coverage. Especially some of the controversies that. 24 hours. Our culture is. Dominated by. Political. Celebrity. This. Universe of the. T. V. And exploitation. Broadcast that. Corporate money. Take a live music anywhere you go plus an elegant think straight on line a Video Library with a built in search engine. Right in your pocket to treat Interactive Digital our skin texture stories well talk to the thousands of episodes to explore videos uploaded every hour so what are you waiting for blast off the foreseeable future. How readout of reading turned on the t. V. On about the world was happening around me i see seals on the screen in last every t. V. Because the feet to sneer its not a state. Of the know this is with the farm after. School is that they keep plenty of them in the school but i found it didnt work and oh. Ok welcome back rick sanchez here now to another example of a suspect saying he cant breathe coming to a Police Arrested happened in austin texas this time where a motorist failed to stop when a Police Officer tried to pull him over orning you might find this somewhat disturbing but here it is this is the video. Shows body cam that youre looking at shows him holding the suspect down who later died after announcing. He tells the Police Officer i have a heart condition and i cant breathe and then he perishes so obviously theres a controversy here and theres a criminal case but heres why im doing this story this story is making headlines beyond just what you saw there beyond this incident itself it turns out that the Police Officer who was involved in the suspects death was being filmed while he was doing it he was being filmed for a Television Show thats called live p. D. Since then the show has been taken off the air and so has another popular almost another popular iconic show its called cops sure youve heard of that one are those shows too exploitive theres so much to talk about in this case including the fact by the way that the video that was shot apparently theyre not going to turn it in they say they may have believed it is joining us now Award Winning journalist Ruben Navarrette and desi robinson who is the director of the Media Program a Media Program at. Columbia university my thanks to both of you does he want truong with a show like this i believe its called live or cops for that matter doing this type of thing. Well 1st hey rick its good to be on and i think the question is whats what is it wrong with a show like this i think its important to understand that there is a fair amount of Media Literacy that needs to happen in situations its and when we think of Reality Television its really important to understand that is it reality. And so these are really narratives that do nothing more than foment stereotypes and sort of the basis understanding of who we think marginalized people are and so these shows are harmful. For several reasons but largely it is because it continues to glorify people who continue to do incredible amounts of harm in marginalized communities but ruben let me bring you in here folks on the other side would say look its a business its a Television Show we put a camera on cops they go out there they arrest people theyre block theyre white theyre drunk theyre making fools of themselves we put it on a d. V. D. We make a lot of money whats wrong with out of the american way of. Right they also they view shows are the are not the stereotype you showed you not hard of people who behave badly when theyre pulled over by Police Officers theyre already behaving badly that they were pulled over by police but there is something to be the Police Officers are behaving badly on the show and that a problem that may be the wrong the worst thing about the show the cop or the camera theyre more likely to be harder on a critic because it makes for Good Television they want to call them back next week for another segment thats a problem. Thats why the shows are dangerous because they encourage the Police Officers to go overboard and perhaps point the camera away that they should not thats a great point speaking of that in this particular case the parents of the suspects say my son was killed by a cop who was acting for a camera he was trying to be a tough guy because of the show that videotape now be turned over to the police because apparently then abrams of live t. V. Is saying no desi im not going to turn them in fact hes saying they may have deleted it. Well i think thats absolutely ridiculous its obviously part information thats part of an investigation but i think what it is. Its worth money use analogies a camera and playing to the camera we need to really pull that lens back because these shows also further this idea that we have good cops and that we have awful terrible people in our society that need to be policed and so what it doesnt do is it doesnt include in any part of this narrative that is being crafted this instead make saliers that put people in these positions in the 1st place and so in force so we going to look at the most marginalized people doing the most horrendous things in our society and were not going to examine what puts them there in the 1st place and then were. Just being entertained by the by the laws of our society and so it does nothing to examine the systemic failures that put people in marginalized positions in the 1st place you know the words theyre going out there with a bias right ruben what does he saying is that. Are they going out there youre right and hes right but theyre not providing the backstory and. The situation to be giving people like the one were doing now that i am i right or even a Research Paper that i did he might write if a lot of. T. V. Shows that they go back and show with the entire contract as to how we end up in the situation they are exploiting Human Behavior not that behavior but theres but im very troubled much more troubled by the fact that this evidence has been destroyed i dont buy into the accidental you know move by the t. V. Stations at all i think the producers who run the show need to have a Good Relationship with the police and Police Department the heat and or to go all over this show and i think this was destroyed on purpose. Because they knew very well rick when they went home that i they knew what they had done and they knew what was on camera and they knew this would come back to bite yeah i could see you saying we generally destroy everything every 34 months or whatever but when you know that someone died during that incident and you have it on tape and you destroy that that seems negligent call me crazy but that seems that image of desi thanks and ruben thanks great conversation important conversation all right like it or not chinas tech giant weiwei is going to play a role the development of americas 5 g. Network according to a study that points to critical telecom patto
