Noe Pernia is a reporter for Channel 2 News in Caracas, known as "El Observador". Because of the muzzle Bill he was not able to report correctly the news on the Granda case. He writes this in today's Tal Cual:

Jesse did not say the truth, neither did I

By Noé Pernía

I tried to construct a story, a simple story that would help TV viewers of El Observador understand the labyrinth of the Minister of The Interior and Justice since on Thursday the 6th., the day of the wise men, he replied to the lawyers of Rodrigo Granda in Bogotá and said that if the guerrilla leader had entered the country , he would have done it using a fake ID card.

Cristobal Fernandez Dalo, refuted him on Friday the 7th. with the Official Gazette in hand showing that the revolution nationalized Granda on July 9th. 2004. That is, no fake ID card, the high flying and arrogant man was quite legal in these lands.

This post is fascinating. The TV reporters are under extreme threat of censorship so they can't report a thing. But the weird law in Venezuela doesn't apply as much to newspapers so the TV reporters are literally filing their stories with the newspapers. I've never seen anything as strange like it.
