A Spanish Catalan newspaper has reported that computers seized when Zeleya was ousted as President of Honduras contained "results" from Zeleya's referendum on whether the Honduran Constitution should be rewritten. The results showed an overwhelming win for Zeleya.
One problem, the Government ousted Zeleya before the referendum could be held. An English translation of the story can be found here.
Reminds me a little of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Result First! Vote, afterword.
Really? The results were determined before the vote was held? Shocking!
Well, not really. Not when you remember Zeleya is a Marxist more concerned with personal power than with the rule of law.
After all, if he had been concerned with the rule of law, he never would have taken actions that violated the Honduran Constitution in an attempt to retain power.
Don't hold your breath waiting for English-speaking news sources to cover this story. Their template is that this was a military coup and Zeleya is the innocent victim. Any evidence about wrong-doing by Zeleya will just be swept under the rug.
This says something about the honesty of our media. The story has been covered by a Nicaraguan news source. Nicaragua? Nicargua has press that is less biased, more honest and more competant than American media?
No wonder the media has lost credability since the day of Walter Cronkite.
Beginning of the End?
