Venezuela: Socialist Chavez muzzles media

by Liberty Loyalist on August 2, 2009

Venezuela Socialists, lead by the Hugo Chavez, have taken a significant measure to constrict and oppress public information and opinion in Venezuela.

So, exactly how can you have a <strong>real democracy</strong> when the government is controlling the news and information people receive?

Is this not an insult to the Venzuelean people?

<strong>New York Times</strong> headline

<a href=”http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/08/01/world/AP-LT-Venezuela-Media.html”>200 Venezuelans Protest Radio Station Shutdowns</a>

<strong>Fox News</strong> Headline

<a href=”http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,536185,00.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a16:g2:r5:c0.038008:b26906566:z0″>Hugo Chavez Pulls 34 Radio Stations Off the Air</a>

Notice any difference in the above?

Does <strong>Socialist American Media</strong> complain when things like this happen? And, who do they favor?

You decide.
