Having a hard time imagining an article i disagree with more honestly lol.

And i think the cause and effect is all backward for Guatemala: the CIA wanted to overthrow the country, so they invited sympathetic journalists on a staged journey. That's a very, very far cry from the experience of a typical tourist, and i think i could make a pretty compelling case that journalists who've never been to {Iraq, Venezuela, Guatemala, Palestine, et. al.} are far MORE likely to write completely out of line imperialist propaganda than the ones who have.
