Hugo Chavez shuts down RCTV

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan cable television providers stopped transmitting a channel critical of President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, after the government cited incompliance with new regulations requiring the socialist leader's speeches be televised on cable.

Radio Caracas Television, an anti-Chavez channel known as RCTV that switched to cable in 2007 after the government refused to renew its over-the-air license, disappeared from the airwaves shortly after midnight.

RCTV was dropped just hours after Diosdado Cabello, director of Venezuela's state-run telecommunications agency, said several local channels carried by cable television have breached broadcasting laws and should be removed from the airwaves

There is Hugo Chavez shutting down one of the few remaining opposition voices in his country.

Thank God for SCOTUS.

Oh yes, a bunch of them anyway. Probably not as many as a few months ago I guess. They cheered on the siezure of the grocery chains, they'll probably think this is a good move too.

Last week some students unfurled a banner at a baseball game saying, '3 strikes and your out Hugo Chavez' or some such. They were removed from the stadium and beaten by National Guards, but not arrested.

An awesome report from a Venezuelan blogger about the situation, including video clips.

Nope. It's going to have to be Venezuelans. They don't seem to have the self-motivation though.

Nope. Just like the DUmmies they believe that Chavez/Obama will make things better eventually.  :mental:
