Playing Both Sides, Gutierrez Barrios Style?

On the home page of Excelsior this evening, buried under the MASSIVE banner about the Steelers victory in the Super Bowl, there was a small notice that Felipe Calderon had visited with the "President of Puerto Rico." Later in the article it referred to Luis Fortuño as governor. In good Mexican journalistic style it referred to Puerto Rico as it would any fully independent nation. But it was the banner that caught my eye... President of Puerto Rico. Is this the sort of left-leaning writing and action that covers up for the right leaning path of the remnants of the Revolution? Would Excelsior really care?
