| Interim Honduras leader hints open to early vote |
| 2009-07-03 |
| TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras -- Honduras' interim leader said he was open to early elections if it resolves an impasse with the world community, as a top diplomat headed to the Central American nation to demand he restore the president ousted by a coup. With time running out on a Saturday deadline by the Organization of American States to return President Manuel Zelaya to power, OAS chief Jose Miguel Insulza was to arrive in Honduras Friday to push for his reinstatement. Insulza said he will meet with leaders of Honduras' Supreme Court and Congress -- institutions that approved Sunday's coup -- "basically to clarify exactly what our position is." But he has said he will not meet with members of Roberto Micheletti's military-backed government, to avoid legitimizing it. It was unclear if Insulza would meet with U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens during the visit. |

| #5 WaPo today had image of a lone pro Zelaya guy and didn't cover the many imagea available of the 10000 person anti Zelayab demo. Hearts and minds in the socialist gutter (ed) or gullibility (tw) or possibly both |

| #4 At the very least it shows the gullibility of the vast majority of journalists and editors, that it doesn't occur to them to question what they're told. Anyone who passes on such blather should be pink-slipped for incompetence irrespective of their political viewpoints. |

| #3 Goes to show where journalists' hearts and minds are. And people are stupid enough to allow these lefty propagandists to filter information for them. |

| #2 "military-backed government" Talk about loaded and false language. This is the CONSTITUTIONAL Government of Honduras, as voted on by the Congress, ordered by the Supreme Court. How the hell is the US populace supposed to come up to speed if the press continues to LIE to them in service of that asshole Obama. |
