    The New York Times didn't mention it. Funny how they always have time and plenty of space to mention castro's organized demonstrations at La Plaza de la Revolucion. You know, those demonstrations where the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution knocks on your door threatening that if you don't go, you'll lose your job, and where you're taken directly from your workplace on special busloads.

    I guess that this demonstration is to spontaneous and genuine for them.

    Well, all those people are just paid lackeys of the Empire. So is everybody who doesn't serve the agenda of the NYT and company. No need to cover what doesn't serve your interests. If you don't believe me, ask Anita Snow.

    Is it just me, or does Zelaya look like an older version of drug czar Pablo Escobar? Of course, Escobar didn't have a huge hat glued to his head like Zelaya. That's real class and distinction there. One wonders if the oversized hat is a way to compensate for something else being rather, uh, modest.

  • Asombra , lol i totally agree with you on that. I bet it isint even modest though its way smaller than that. It's probably just me but i thought he kind of looks like Sadam.

    Granma: "Look at all those oligarchs!"

  • Mr. Mojito

    I'm sure the NYT would caption the "No Mas" photo this way ...

    "A young rural campesina protests the illegal ouster of the worker's leader Zelaya. Her sign translates to "no more" keeping our dear leader away from us (let him come back). Our Latin American expert Che Castro Bolivar has stated that 102 % of Honduran citizens are in favor of Zelaya's lifetime rule."

  • Are there any newspapers out there that dont cater to the left? Just wondering.

  • I saw this live via webcast from La Prensa.

    There were over 100k pro democracy marchers, from all walks of life and society.

    The paid Zelaya thug "rally" which features covered faces, rock throwing, Che Guevara images, red and black clothing (non national colors) etc. was at best 2k

    But let me tell you, Telemundo, Univision, Mega, Oscar Haza, etc. continues to get this story wrong and give lip service to the nightmare propoganda of Zelaya and his master Hugo Chavez.

    Gen TV has the best coverage I have seen.

    Zelaya is a coward, a thief, a traitor and a scumbag....

    Colena,
    The Philadelphia Bulletin is struggling to make a comback. It is pretty good for our side.

  • Honey

    NR today has a column supporting the Hondurans and against Zelaya.
