#1 No the media is too busy cheering for Obumble and his Obumblecare to notice anything else.

Besides, a left wing government being toppled by popular protest doesn't exactly fit the narrative that they are using to cheer on teh 0ne now does it?

#2 I remember back in the day when a Coup took over power in Venezuala and W. Bush refused to support them. Chavez took over again soon after.

Morally and democratically the right thing to do but I still question the wisdom of that move.
