Meanwhile, a local Caracas newspaper reported that a group of its reporters had been attacked by pro-government supporters.
The newspaper said the attack happened as the journalists were handing out leaflets against the proposed bill.

Those stories seem to take the responsibility for the protest out of the hands of the individuals and into the hands of the newspaper.

I'd like to hear more about this. My understanding is that Zelaya ignored the Supreme Court's legal ruling and the Supreme Court declared that he should be captured by the military, which then occurred.
