You can tell the poster is American because they blame the government involved for all of these except the US, where they blamed the CIA.

You're right, as an American I knew the specific government agency that overthrew foreign governments. But I don't mean to imply that the U.S. government is blameless.

I agree with the sentiment, I was just amused that your bias was showing.

Saying the CIA isn't indicative of bias

In context it does. That's how I correctly guessed they were American.

...It really isn't, but if that's what you want to tell yourself, I really can't stop you. It's still incorrect either way.

They have an American bias because they are American therefore they could be more specific about the American centric piece of information. Your lack of literacy doesn't change the definition of the word bias.

Silly internet troll, everybody the world over knows about the CIA American or not. But you do you.

No you see it was just a few bad apples.

The CIA is part of the US government.
