I EXPRESSED MY SCEPTICISM ABOUT TSIPRAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO

On 19th May 2012 I posted WHY ARE MEDIA BARELY MENTIONING THE COMMUNIST BACKGROUND OF ALEXIS TSIPRAS? in which I analysed media coverage of Tsipras at the time, stating in that post:

Even the New York Times whitewashes the red history of Tsipras, and gives the impression to me that Tsipras is being prepared for power. Who else in Greece is being given so much media time and space?

Even then Tsipras was placing the European Union over the people of Greece. A few days before that post Tsipras had told CNN:

“We will do whatever we could do in this direction, to keep Greece inside the euro zone and inside Europe.”
