The above footage is from a protest from the “camisetas blancas”, Hondurans in favor of the Constitution. It was held in “Plaza la Libertad” before the presidential palace, the day that OAS president José Miguel Insulza visited Honduras to demand the reinstatement of Manuel Zelaya as president, and before Zelaya’s subreptitious return to Honduras. Insulza snubbed president Micheletti, and instead met only with Zelaya’s supporters.
This was one of several multitudinous protests, none of which got any video coverage from CNN, as far as I know. They got cursory mention in the news websites, if any. Instead, the “mainstream” media presented footage of “red-shirt” (pro-Zelaya) protesters throwing rocks at police and burning tires. But ironically, they ommitted coverage of when they destroyed businesses, homes and restaurants.
Clearly the “mainstream” media is not representing the mainstream of Honduran people, and after reading the latest gallup poll, neither the mainstream of US citizens either. The poll states that 63% of people polled sympathize with the Israelis rather than with the Palestinians, something that should discourage all those who have sought to indoctrinate the public with newscasts dripping with their ideological bias.
