- larrysalibra 3y agoYes. Adding "narco-" in front of any previous leader or official the author apparently doesn't like doesn't do much to help with clarity. Hard to tell what's going on from this article in that the author seems so biased against Prospera. Sounds like they made an agreement with one government that for various reasons lost power and that the new government wants to cancel the deal.
- ks2048 3y agoYou can argue how often "narco-" should be used, but it's more than just someone "the author apparently doesn't like". The ex-president and his brother are literally convicted drug traffickers.
- crotchfire 3y agoi think the readability would be improved if the author tossed in the prefix "crypto-" a few dozen more times.
- yieldcrv 3y agoThe actual statements from the parties involved - The Prospera ZEDE and the executive branch - are at the bottom and far more coherent and cordial than the rest of the article suggests. The rest of the article is hyperbolic trash. “Immense bipartisan pressure from the US to maintain the Honduras charter cities” = “2 US senators writing a … letter”
- blackhawkC17 3y agoIt's typical for some journalists. They just mash words together to make something look suspicious, but they don't really have a point to make.
