CSM, WSJ Respond to Criticism of Claim of Plurality for Honduran Coup

On Sunday, I wrote a piece here criticizing the Christian Science
Monitor, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and Reuters for
inaccurately reporting a poll result to claim that a plurality of
Hondurans supported the coup against President Zelaya.

The Journal and the Monitor have responded to the criticism,
explaining what happened but leaving key questions unanswered: if they
used the Honduran newspaper La Prensa as a sole source, why did they
do that, and will they do anything differently in the future?
