Legitimacy of Reports

Alright, anyone who uses Vheadline.com to get news on, well, anything, just a warning to you. Consider the source of the information. In one of the articles on Honduras the entire article is just a copy of a blog post from marxist.com. Ahem, the journalistic quality of an opion from a blog, copied into a news outlet seems like a pathetic way to have news without being able to afford journalists. At least they provided the source, which marxist.com does not. I would link to it in my blog, but I have standards.

Meanwhile a human rights lawyer has made a report detailing 155,000 human rights violations by the Mitchelleti government. It has only been twenty days. Two people at most are confirmed dead, only one confirmed to be by intentional actions. The reports say roughly three hundred people are generally the protest size, and they are still protesting peacefully (mostly) so illegal arrests are not massive. How one can reach 155,000 violations in the accused media blackout and human rights restriction on speech and everything else seems, well, contradictory.

Seriously, think about it. Turn on your common sense and turn off the "sheep mindset". If there is really such a crackdown on the media, restriction of freedom of speech and assembly, and all the other accusations would it be possible to access information on 155,000 incidents to make a report about it, and then release the report from WITHIN Honduras? The violations were invented to make a negative headline for the Mitchelleti presidency. They can't even find 155,000 things to say about Saddam, and he ruled for thirty years. I doubt Honduras has that many violations in twenty days.
