Over the past several days, the Obama administration and the mainstream media have demanded that Manuel Zelaya be reinstated as the rightful president of Honduras. They claim and report that Zelaya was the victim of an unjustified coup perpetrated by the Honduran military. But is any of that true? Was this really a coup? Is Zelaya the rightful leader of the country? Or was he deposed according to protocol because he thwarted the constitution and the courts in an illegitimate power grab? If the latter is true, why is Obama demanding Zelaya be put back in power? And why is he marching in lockstep with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez on this issue? We get insight on this drama from Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid.
