BoRev.Net (Dispatches from the Bolivarian Revolution) does its best to keep the MSM honest when covering the troubling outbreaks of democracy in Latin America during the presidency of Bush the Lesser. Unfortunately Bo.Rev’s efforts are like pissing in a blue serge suit (H/T to Lyndon Johnson): it makes a man feel good but nobody else notices.
But hey, been there, done that—
Another day, another wire story chronicling the noble Hondurans and their brave struggle to take back their country from the illiterate mobs of “voters” and usher in a glorious era of armed governance, just like our founding fathers, in reverse! The latest, from crack McClatchy genius Tyler Bridges, explains how the unwashed masses have taken their anger out on an innocent Dunkin Donuts. These people are monsters who don’t deserve a president etc. etc. Also, this from Reuters:“The June 28 coup was bloodless and since then only two protesters have been killed in demonstrations.”See, bloodless! Of course, this “only two” designation might come as a surprise to the grieving families of teenager Isis Obed Murillo Mencias, journalist Gabriel Fino Noriega, teachers Roger Abraham Vallejo and Martin Florencio Rivera, construction worker Pedro Magdiel Muñoz Salvador, lesbian activist Vicky Hernandez Castillo, driver Pedro Pablo Hernández, political activists Caso Ramon Garcia and Roger Ivan Bados, and the unidentified dude found dead wearing a pro-Zelaya T-Shirt and buried in a part of town once used as a “clandestine cemetery for extra-judicial executions during the 80’s.”
Technically that’s “ten”, but who’s counting?

The CI lying A and the military have never found a right wing dictator that they wouldn't back. The people of the world like the American people but they sure don't like our government.
