CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez is threatening again to shut down Globovision, the sole television channel in Venezuela that regularly criticizes him — saying it had stirred panic for reporting an earthquake before the government announced it.
"We're not going to tolerate a crazy man with a cannon shooting it at the whole world," Chavez said on his weekly television and radio show Sunday, referring to Alberto Ravell, the Globovision general manager. "Enough! . . . This has to end or I'll stop calling myself Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias."
"You are playing with fire, manipulating, inciting hate and much more. All of you: television networks, radio stations, papers," he said. "Don't make a mistake with me."
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro followed up Monday by charging that Ravell had terrorized Venezuelan women and children with his 5:21 a.m. report.

obama sought out chavez for tips on how to go about doing the same thing here.
You bet Obama has his minions at the FCC working overtime to find a way to pull FOX’s licence.
Sad thing is, you could show this to a modern American leftist and not a single light would go on.
They cheer Hugo, because he was anti-Bush.
Wow, this Chavez guy sounds like a Democrat!
you could show them this video, and they would ask you what problem you have with it.

Birds of a feather.
Obama (Chavez’s “friend”) threatens to close radio stations critical of him.
There I fixed your headline , free of charge.
"President Hugo Chavez is threatening again to shut down Globovision, the sole television channel in Venezuela that regularly criticizes him."
The folks at Fox News Channel and Talk Radio stations had better prepare for Obama's communism.
Bezmenov was fantastic. It’s telling about our media that those interviews were done back in the early 80’s and they were never shown on any major network (that I know of).
the media and academia were part of the plan

Not much difference here with Obama. I expect Rush and most conservative talk radio hosts to be the next target. Of course it will require bypassing Constitutional restraints but that has not seemed to bother this Administration yet...
“...saying it had stirred panic for reporting an earthquake before the government announced it.”
Because the government was going to claim it was just a heavy semi driving by?
Just another Victory Truck, I assume...
Yeah, a really big one of those went through Italy not long ago...
This was a 5.5 quake just 25 miles from Caracas that happened 10 minutes before it was reported on Globovison. I’m sure anyone that was awake watching TV at 5 am felt it. Chavez is really reaching with this one.
