Nica Coverage Seems Bipolar

Dear Nica Times:

Your articles about Nicaragua can only be described as bi-polar. One week it’s crime and the antics of your dictator, and then in the March 19 edition there’s a story about AMCHAM and doing business in Nicaragua.

And to finish the article, there is a quote about how no one can do anything in Nicaragua if there is no political stability … and the quote is not even contested.
