Ep.119 A media baron, a newspaper and a coup: Augustín Edwards, the CIA and the overthrow of Salvador Allende
In September of 1970 rightwing Chilean media baron Agustín Edwards Eastman traveled to Washington DC to meet with CIA director Richard Helms, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and President Richard Nixon. They discussed plans to overthrow the then newly elected government of Salvador Allende.
This was just one part of the sinister role that Chile's wealthiest and most powerful media baron played in the events of the 11 September 1973.
