CNN Continues in Reporting Innacuracies From Honduras

CNN's Rick Sanchez, while reporting the situation in Honduras, said that "the interim government of President Micheletti was put in effect by the military." That's false and completely inaccurate. Deposed president Zelaya was removed by the military, but under the request of the judicial bodies and congress in Honduras, the same bodies that named Micheletti interim president. In other words, the military is following the orders of the legislative bodies as mandated by Honduran laws.

The reporter that CNN has in Honduras is also passing along inaccurate and one-sided information. CNN ran a longer version of his reporting, during Rick Sanchez' show today, in which the reporter in Honduras says, "we've heard from the demonstrators, and then we heard from the military, with their bullets." That's also inaccurate.

I fail to recognize CNN's agenda is passing along inaccuracies to its world audience. But, it's really disappointing.
