Thanks for posting those. I'd still like to see it reported in main-stream media sources to get more of an idea of the international community views this. The India one is a reprint of the Thailand story. The Common Iowan and Moderate Voice are both using the term coup in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, as made clear in that both of it follow the word with a question-mark (implying that it really isn't a coup). Both are probably chosing the word purely for it's aliterative quality. The Huffington Post one is overwhelmingly in favour of the change in government, and is again using the word ironically. The Epoch Times uses the word in the URL, but not in the actual article. All things considered, it's not really a ringing condemnation from the international community.
