Venezuelans fighting dictator over free press:
Thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets holding separate protests to support and condemn private TV station Globovision, which leftist President Hugo Chavez has threatened to shut down.
Protesters aligned with the opposition called for "defending access to information" and denounced "the persecution against Globovision that seeks to close it permanently" in a statement read after their march.
In May, Chavez's United Socialist Party accused Globovision of "media terrorism" for getting ahead of the government in reporting about an earthquake.
The government has also lambasted the channel for broadcasting comments by a journalist who said Chavez, a close ally of Cuba's communist regime, would end his days like former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, "hung with his head down."
The firebrand leftist leader has threatened Globovision with the same fate that befell RCT (Radio Caracas Television), the oldest and most popular television network in the country.
The government refused to renew RCTV's license in May 2007 because of its critical news coverage. Although off the air, RCTV continues to be seen in Venezuela from Miami via cable and satellite systems.
End quote.
Obama is turning ABC News into Another Barrack Channel. He has made it his own offical news channel from which to manipulate Americans.
This is called a State-Run TV station folks. While Venezuelans are fighting it, Barrack is pushing it! The media used to be (in a democracy/republic) a way to hold politicans in check, by questioning and exposing corruption and wrong ideas. The requirement for journalists used to be that they were unbiased. That's gone.
Now with Obama taking over an entire news network by bringing it into the Whitehouse to sell his socialist agenda without the opposing views also being aired alongside it, we've delved deeper into the socialist dictatorship of Obama.
Are you willing to fight against this like the Venezuelans?
