local unbiased news sources hard to come by

Seems as though I need to make a correction/comment to that last post - I talked to another friend of mine that lives in Teguc, whose sister is studying medicine in one of the public hospitals that I mentioned in the previous post. She says that the hospital was not taken over by the military, but that that doctors were going on strike to show their support for the return of Mel Zelaya to power.

It's a bit difficult to know who and what to believe. We are continuing to see a lot of biases in the local newspapers here. Just the other day there was a short article in one of them informing the citizens of Honduras that the world is behind the ousting of Mel Zelaya. Funny because everything I'm reading online is saying just the opposite - that the UN and OAS are calling this a military coup and in no way are they supporting what happened. It's too bad the Honduran people aren't even being informed as to what's going on - but are only being fed lies so the military and Congress can gain support in what happened.
