Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

Yes, someone from Venezuela who speaks AGAINST Chavez, but disagrees with you people's belief of the cruel, despotic, oppressive nature of Venezuelan life MUST BE A PLANT! There's no way that in America, the news we receive could ever be jaded or biased! We have a near perfect track record in Latin America. That's why they love us so.
First, RCTV still operates via satellite (their offices are open). Their cable broadcasting lisense (along with a couple others) was not renewed because they actively helped plan and carry out the failed coup in 2002.
These stations are owned by some of Venezuela's most wealthy businessmen, all of whom hate Chavez's populist message. For three days they ran anti-Chavez programming, and encouraged people to take to the streets. They reported when Chavez had been removed by the military that he had "fled" and when he came back, they didn't even report on it. They met a few days before the coup to plan it out. This isn't some paranoid rambling. These are facts that are documented.
What's truly amazing (an a testament to Chavez's pluralism) is that he didn't shut RCTV down. He revoked their cable lisense, but allowed them to continue broadcasting. He didn't send in soldiers and set the building on fire (the way they had hoped he would be removed).
