Wildly Inaccurate Reporting about Honduras

The AFP (Agence France-Presse) numbers this protest at "hundreds". Scroll down. It sort of looks closer to "hundreds of thousands".

Why is the media furthering the interests of a leftist who is trying to become leader-for-life in his country, apparently in violation of its constitution? Why does President Obama reflexively side with Zelaya instead of others in the government who by many accounts legally removed him from office on orders of the Honduran Supreme Court? In the absence of other information, it seems that procedures specified in their constitution were followed. Where was that "wait and see who wins" attitude President Obama took toward Iranian protesters? Is he in favor of an invasion from Nicaragua? Who's reporting can we trust?
