Wikipedia:

"A coup d'état (pronounced /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/, (plural: coups d'état) or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military. A coup d’état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fail to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government’s surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces."

The US Mass Media CONTINUES TO LIE.

They have no counter for the following:

The Removal of Zelaya was NOT A COUP.

It was done by the Supreme Court based on Honduran Constitutional Law and supported by the National Assembly, including by those within Zelaya's OWN LIBERAL PARTY. The Honduran Military if anything kept Zelaya from being killed, and escorted him out of the country. They had two other occasions to draw blood, one on the ground at the border with Nicaragua and then again at the Bolivian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, but again, nothing but benevolence.

The US Mass Media is the biggest bunch of agenda-laden bullshitters and liars on this planet.

Even though I am generally opposed to vulgarity on the board, if ever there is a time and place, it is now and here

The US Mass Media is the biggest bunch of agenda-laden bullshitters and liars on this planet.

I would love to see Sarah Palin attend the inauguration and when asked for her thoughts, tell the press that it saddens her to see that our President does not understand the concept of constitutional law.

....just to see the press with 10,000 bees in their bonnets.
