Why does the media refer to the lawful ouster of Honduras expresident zelaya as a "Coup"?

The Honduran Supreme Court had both the grounds and the authority to remove him. So why is the media and the rest of the world so against them for carrying out their constitutional obligation? They should be commended for preserving their constitutional democracy.

    The US media has adopted a socialistic view of the news, echoing the views of the current administration. It does by no means reflect the position of the American people who are overwhelmingly in support of the Honduran government and the action taken against the Marxist, Zelaya.

    This is a sure sign to Americans, that 0bama himself is a Marxist and cannot be trusted in his words, actions, or agenda regarding the future of the US.

    The White House calls in a coup because Obama sides with the Communist Dictators in the area like Castro and Hugo Chavez.

    Zelaya was attempting the exact same take over that Chavez did.

    A huge and automatic lie produced by the liberal media. We all know that Zelaya was about to declare himself "president for life" and since he is a leftist leader the worlds media takes his side when Honduras stands up for themselves and tells the communists

    NO MAS!

    WTG Honduras, you have many supporters here in the US

    Yes, I agree this is very strange. It's like when Obama took over the media and our government stopped supporting human rights and freedom in favor of authoritarianism. These are scary times for America. This only further illustrates that Obama has control over the major media,

    "hey yo we're the united states marines we know you've all been killing eachother for at least 2000 years, but we're here now to protect our family of rich inherent warlords most friendly to the west." ♪ "ever notice news is staged like tv wrestling shows with regans and kadafis dressed as cartoon villains and heros or a wildlife documentary where a lion from the zoo kills a deer tied down ahead of time at the perfect camera angle or when lemmings balk at dying their simply thrown off the cliff."♪

    long ago it was easier to see and things were done publicaly. One influential writer during slave times said that in order to control your slaves you must break them mentally. for their bodies are of value to you. they must work. but their spirit thats how you can control them. How do you break someones will. divide them, this one hates that one. put the blacks against the whites. the light skinned blacks against the dark skinned. the big vs the little and make them hate eachother and be fearful of eachother in order to control them. Now you have to ask do the people who control us pit us against eachother today? does fox news like to hype up racially charged stuff? do they hate on mexicans and druggies? is that how they're dividing you now. and pay attention look at why and what they're dividing you for. when fox news brings up stuff about black people what is it they're really after? like all these question statements in the politics section, no one wants an answer they're just trying to prove their point. so you have to read between the lines.

    zelaya was their man, he held US interests above the interests of hi own country thats why they want him back. I would say his opposition were socialists but i think Hugo Chavez supported zelaya so that doesn't make sense.

    Better yet! Why is Obama so hel bent on him being the president of Honduras against their constitution? I take that as a sign - Obama plans to steal elections for decades to come in the good ole USA.

    Lets all of us conservatives JOIN ACORN org- They need 1/2 and 1/2 - they get tax dollars to get out the vote- so Lets GET out the vote for someone NON-CORRUPTED and JOIN ACORN- maybe we can help those people WAKE UP, and teach them to be good decent human beings- so they don't house brothels.. and what not with tax dollars..!

    As others have stated, it's all Obama's fault. He's got a soft spot in his heart (and his head!) for left-wing dictators.
