Wow - DIVERS posting the truth that CNN can’t get straight? As a HGTV addict, I’m familiar with this dive site being a big second home for Americans. Thought about them when this all went down. Great to have them speaking out and getting it right. Screw CNN....

Yeah, you are right...we were on our way there in May but due to some unrest at the port, our ship decided not to stop there. Missed what I had been looking forward toward.

Things haven’t changed. Years ago there was some unrest in Tegucigulpa and our lovely State Dept advised against travel there. I as usual ignored them. When I got to the resort I found that everyone but myself had cancelled their reservations and I was the only one at the resort for the week. I was treated like a queen, but that resort and others had a big loss of revenue because of this BS. The Bay Islands are beautiful, the diving superb, and the people very gratious. Viva Honduras!

Yes, CNN's ratings are in the toilet, where they belong.

"........CNN bled primetime ratings points in the first quarter of 2009 and Fox News Channel led the cable news networks on several fronts during a news cycle marked by the beginning of President Barack Obama’s administration and a global economic crisis.

Among the three major cable news networks, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers during primetime in the first quarter, according to Nielsen Media Research. The network had its third best quarter in primetime viewership, behind the fourth quarter of 2008 (presidential election coverage) and the third quarter of 2005 (Hurricane Katrina coverage). CNN averaged 1.1 million viewers, while MSNBC had about 950,000. Compared with last year, Fox News rose 24%, CNN declined 10%...........Fox News also dominated the list of top news analysis programs, claiming nine of the top 10 spots."
