Sham Honduran election coverage
The U.S. continued to demonstrate the absurdity of its claim to support "democracy" by throwing its support behind the sham election that took place in Honduras today. And the corporate media did its part. AP asserts that "The dispute has split Western Hemisphere countries" and Reuters tells its readers that the "election...has put the United States at odds with leftist governments in Latin America." The truth is that, with the exception of U.S. toady Costa Rica, there isn't a single Latin American country which has expressed support for the election, which has been denounced by the official organization of Latin American countries (plus the U.S. and Canada), the OAS.
