7. The Venezuelan Government did NOT "Shut Down" anything!
Please don't use the Reich Wing framing.
The Venezuelan Government simply declined to renew RCTV's license to broadcast on the Public Airways.
RCTV is still free to broadcast on Cable and Satellite.

The following is from the Christian Science Monitor, one of the few remaioning credible news sources remaining in the uS.

"Would a network that aided and abetted a coup against the government be allowed to operate in the United States? The US government probably would have shut down RCTV within five minutes after a failed coup attempt – and thrown its owners in jail. Chávez's government allowed it to continue operating for five years and then declined to renew its 20-year license to use the public airwaves. It can still broadcast on cable or via satellite dish."

When you use the Global Corporate Frame "Shut Down", you evoke images of jack booted storm troopers marching in and breaking up the radio station! That is why our CorpoMedia is using the frame "Shut Down" which is much scarier than the TRUTH.




"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
