Thousands of Venezuelans have taken to the streets of Caracas in protest at the president's decision to close the country's oldest private TV network.Mr Chavez's supporters say Radio Caracas Television (RCTV) backed a 2002 coup which briefly ousted him. But the country's opposition say the decision to close the network is an attempt to silence Mr Chavez's critics. Many of those who turned out for Saturday's protest carried national flags and placards. "Freedom of speech is a right, as is the right to be informed," said 72-year-old Pablo Mosco from the capital's Catia slum district.
The government claims that the channel is breaching the constitution by rallying support for the opposition.
MEANWHILE, IN HOLLYWOOD AND NYC, THE CHIC GLITTERATI OF THE LEFT ARE COMPLETELY SILENT. INSTEAD THEY RANT AND RAVE ABOUT BUSH, WHO NEVER DONE ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT CHAVEZ HAS DONE. HYPOCRITICAL, DELUDED LEFTISTS IDIOTS.
