Overly positive coverage?

There's literally nothing even partly negative about Magsaysay in the entire article, and many of the sources seem to be very old. It's entirely possible that this guy is a saint -- in which case I think he'd rank among the best leaders ever (eliminated corruption, boosted economy, ended gangs, expanded his country's influence, was loved by other countries, etc., etc.)

On the other hand, he was a CIA-backed leader trying to crush organized military movements in the country. Almost everyone else that has fit this description has turned out to be a Very Bad Person (tm), despite positive press from both the US and whatever nation that person was leading. I'm not saying that the CIA only backs evil villain-style dictators, but they sure do more than anyone else in the world -- especially the CIA in that time.

Anyone have anything negative about this guy? Is the article biased hugely pro-Magsaysay? Or is it accurate, and just lacks negative info because Magsaysay was a saint? OwenVersteeg (talk) 05:11, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Almost two years later, and it seems like this is still the case. Anyone want to help me take a look at this? At a cursory glance, lots of the article seems to be backed with propaganda, and the article still hails him as a saint. OwenVersteeg (talk) 01:26, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
