The candidates and Latin America

Eric Green at the State Department asked me some questions about the candidates' views on Latin America, and wrote this article for State's news site. I doubt anyone who follows the topic will be too terribly bedazzled, but still.

Did you notice how the article not so subtly favors McCain? Does it bother anyone that a government website is pushing out propoganda intended to favor one of the candidates? Yeesh.

I don't really get that impression. I don't support McCain, and the article noted my views.

Actually, the article you linked to is not so one-sided. I was instead reading a second article by by Eric Green written four days later: http://www.america.gov/st/elections08-english/2008/September/200809100932151xeneerg0.3041956.html?CP.rss=true. The September 5 article showed much more balance and interspersed the candidate's views under topical headings, whereas the September 9 article looks like it was none-so-subtly altered to favor McCain by focusing on his views first and including pointed criticism of Obama.
