- Title
Honduras: The Forgotten Coup.
- Authors
Fuchs, Gustavo J.
- Abstract
Contributing columnist Gustavo Fuchs details the lack of media coverage of violent repression against the popular resistance movement in post-coup Honduras, contrasting the underreported Honduran realities with the media's recent obsession with popular demonstrations in the Middle East. Fuchs highlights the Honduran government's repressive response to teachers' strikes and impunity towards campesino murders - virtually absent in the headlines. Selective media bias in support of hypocritical Western agendas has left the Honduras resistance to fend for itself while the Middle East gets all the attention.
