The American Chavistas are saying that the TV station, RCTV, engaged in active insurrection, fomenting assasination attempts and coup d’etat and this justified the shut down.
We’ll see.
I have a very good friend who lived in Caracas with very close family who lives there still, and I will find the truth for myself.
(But, I seriously doubt the charges).
Yeah, you go ahead and investigate that. RCTV was shut down for criticizing the Chavez regime. He had been threatening to do it since the last, fixed election, when RCTV didn’t support him. It is as if Bush had closed down CBS because he didn’t like the way it was covering the White House, and then taken all of its studios, broadcasting equipment and fired all its employees, and then turned the assets over to the Republican National Committee. You’d probably want to find out the truth for yourself on that one, too.
