The Associated Press, upon which most news outlets in the United States depend, appears to be slanting its reporting to support the pro-Chavez version of events in Honduras. Obama and Democrats cannot sustain a second example of turning their backs to democracy and freedom.
The AP tells us that much of the world has condemned the deposing of Manuel Zelaya. We also are told that Hugo Chavez, president of oil-rich Venezuela, has vowed to remove the new president of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, and that U.S. president Barack Obama has calld the Micheletti government “illegal.”
Chavez stated that “If the oligarchies break the rules of the game…the people have the right to resistance and combat…we are with them.”
AP reports say little about the ardent support Chavez is giving the deposed Zelaya, and scant attention is given to those who are fearful of Chavez’s involvement in the internal politics of Honduras.
Aside from yesterday’s UN and OAS statements condemning the legal action of the Honduran government to remove Zelaya, the Obama administration has been silent. My hope is that they realized that they have fubared this and are looking for a way out. OL
