...HAVE BASICALLY COME OUT AND SAID YOU'RE A LIBERAL. HOW DO YOU RESPOND WHEN CRITICS SAY, "AHA, I KNEW REPORTERS WERE LIBERAL, AND THIS IS WHY THE MEDIA IS BIASED"?

Morales has criticized Sanchez for his gas project and for his efforts to put tighter controls on the Bolivian production of cocoa...
