The Biased Media

I know that for many of you there is nothing more biased than CNN or Fox (depending on which political party you personally align yourself with). However, at least those news agencies have a little bit of overlap. Here in Honduras, we do not have that luxury. The government sponsored TV stations like Televicentro tell one extreme. Then the Zelaya supporting news networks such as radio station Radio Globo tell a completely other extreme. There is virtually no overlap. The only thing that you can be certain of is that everybody is lying. Both sides are constantly contradicting each other and when one is proved wrong they continue as if they had never said it. So, when an international news network quotes a Honduran news source, be very careful. There are lots of rumors and lies floating around on every side. I normally don't like what the New York Times has been reporting on Honduras--they have been heavily biased in many of their articles--but the following article is the best I have seen on how both sides have been lying and stretching the truth:
