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.

We probably aren't reporting on it because world news doesn't mean anything to us. To many Americans, they are the be-all-of-all of the world thinking everyone wants to become an American and all other countries are inherently wrong in their decisions whether it be a breach of whatever it is they call freedom or do something silly.
