I don't know what the hell you've been reading, but the consensus in western media about the coup appears to be, in order of best to worst:
no coup at all > failed coup > successful coup
Sometimes the latter two are switched, but the former is always presented as the best outcome.
- catnaroek 10y agoSo that's why the coup against Morsi was never called a coup?
- JumpCrisscross 10y agoLiterally the title of the Wikipedia article [1]. Every reference I checked in that article, including this one from CNN [2], called it a coup. "Coup" and "revolution" aren't dirty words in Western lexicon.
