" However, the unexpectedly strong opposition by the American population blocked the plans of the Obama administration. "

see, here's the thing. the writers know this is false, there's no use debating the issue. yet, it's useful as propaganda because it presents the (mostly false) idea that democracy is possible in the heart of the empire.

the biases that the wsws pushes are actually fairly weak in comparison to any kind of mainstream north american news network. the analysis is of course marxist, but in context that's often more academic than political. on top of that, the biases are hard to pull out because they actually align fairly well with basic assumptions about western democracy. the difference is more in motive; the state wants you to believe in democracy in order to pacify you, whereas the trotskyists want you to believe in democracy to radicalize you.

but, that sentence above, there, is a lie - a conscious, purposeful lie with the aim of putting a politically motivated skew on the story. it's maybe not the bias some might expect from a source like the wsws, but it's the one that is actually there.

the article itself is explaining how obama is organizing europe into provinces of the american empire.
