Chavez Calls for Closing Dissident TV Station - Does American Left Approve?
Reuters reported yesterday that “tens of thousands of Venezuelan protesters” hit the streets in Caracas to protest the impending demise of a popular television station. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has been reshuffling the deck to better position himself as Socialist Dictator Chavez, has apparently had enough of the political opposition from RCTV and is attempting to yank the plug.
Leftists Americans like Cindy Sheehan have praised the Chavez regime, preferring it to the American version of democracy where leftists are forced to contend with conservative views that occasionally slip past the main stream media censors on stations such as The Fox News Channel. In fact, look for Sheehan and other leftists to take a cue from Chavez and call for the shuttering of Fox News.
