Media Misreporting
The land and environmental defense struggles, and human rights and justice struggles that Rights Action supports in Guatemala and Honduras confront the interests, power and wealth of other governments (mainly the U.S. and Canada) and a host of international companies, banks and investors.
These struggles also confront the role of the mainstream media in the U.S. and Canada, and how these issues are reported on, if ever, or outright ignored.
