The Boston Globe's Invisible Ink: Hiding Honduran Protests

Never saw it in print and I have been buying them this week.

"Gunmen kill 15 in Honduran factory" by Associated Press | September 8, 2010

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Men armed with assault rifles burst into a shoe factory and opened fire yesterday, killing at least 15 workers and wounding eight, Honduran authorities said.

Leonel Sauceda, national police spokesman, called the attack in the northern city of San Pedro Sula “a massacre.’’ He said the motive had not been determined.

Sauceda said police were not ruling out the possibility the attack may have been related to drug trafficking. San Pedro Sula has been a hotbed of gun battles between drug traffickers and among the country’s Mara street gangs....

Doesn't the whole thing stink?

Also yesterday, thousands of supporters of Manuel Zelaya, former president, staged street protests in the capital, Tegucigalpa, to demand the ousted leader’s return, as well as a 15 percent rise in the minimum wage, currently about $290 a month.

Oh, NOW I SEE why the Globe CENSORED IT!!

You can TELL a LOT about an AGENDA-PUSHING NEWSPAPER by noting the PROTESTS it chooses to cover -- and those it does not!

Small rule of thumb: If it's gays, global warming, or immigrants the agenda-pushing press will find them.

Zelaya was removed in a June 2009 coup, and his term expired in January.

Yeah, a U.S.-BACKED and APPROVED COUP!

Another reason to censor this obfuscating PoS!

He was replaced by Porfirio Lobo, who won a fall presidential election that had been scheduled before Zelaya’s ouster....

As if it was all legit!

--more--"

Yeah, where did
Zelaya end up anyway?
