There is nothing to be suspicious about. This bias that you have observed is the obvious intense dislike the Honduran public, media and government have for the Hugo Chavez' and other socialist factions' influence on the Honduran president.
Oh yeah, so it's always a matter of ideology isn't it? Kill the socialists pigs!

Not to say that I side with Chavez or Zelaya (I don't know much about Zelaya though), but really, things are somewhat more complex in these events than a simple conflict of ideals. Usually it has to do with a lot of vested interests. Especially if the media is going as far as not calling it a coup d'etat, naming it a "suspension of presidency" instead, and making a very clear distinction between the two terms.

Which is completely ridiculous since this is, and will always be, a coup d'etat. And it's wrong however you look at it. Just seeing the military on the streets sends shivers down my skin, reminding me of times long past in this continent.
