Venezuelan Channel RCTV closed by Chavez

Last night the oldest channel in the whole country was forced out of the air (against constitutional rights) by President Chavez.

RCTV who refused to alter its critique of the current government to favor a Fidel-wannabe president is now out of air and more then 3000 people are out of work as the government took measures to assure that this people who are against a regiment communist in the country were to be employed by other TV channels.


Last words of Eladio Laréz at the last minutes of the closing of the Channel.(Spanish)

You heard right. Not only RCTV but all the private national TV stations were clearly supporting it. None of them condemned the break of the national constitution, none of them dared to question the intentions of those people appearing on camera saying that they were taking control of the nation, none of them condemned the attack against the Cuba embassy in Caracas, none of them complained when it was announced that VTV (the national public TV station) would be illegaly closed, none of them reported when people started protesting against the coup, etc.

Again, I am not a "Chavista", but I am not blind.
