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.

i dunno, i live in europe and it was on the news here, there was also an in-depth interview with some guy who studied latin america, one of those random "hey smart man, what can you tell us about this" interviews.. It wasn't much but it was there, don't know why US news havn't reported on it.
