SocraticGadfly: LA Times bias in Honduras?

LA Times bias in Honduras?

In an otherwise-good article, Tracy Wilkinson says:
The two camps cannot even agree to call the coup a coup.

Well, you just called it a coup. Taking one camp’s side.

That said, Wilkinson does note this is more about “politics as usual” ideology as anything, because the two main political parties in Honduras are really two extended families in the 7-million person country. And, Zelaya himself is a timber baron, who, other than in Chavezista style, hasn’t given a tremendous amount of indications of true populism.

Overall, the Times story is very good. But that is a big oops in the middle of it.
