CHAVEZ SILENCES ANOTHER CRITIC - A CABLE TV CHANNEL REMOVED FROM CABLE

NYTimes/AP: Anti-Chavez Channel Removed From Cable
Venezuelan cable television providers stopped transmitting a channel critical of President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, after the government cited noncompliance with new regulations requiring the socialist leader's speeches be televised on cable.

Radio Caracas Television, an anti-Chavez channel known as RCTV that switched to cable and satellite television in 2007 after the government refused to renew its over-the-air license, disappeared from TV sets shortly after midnight.

RCTV was yanked from cable and satellite programming just hours after Diosdado Cabello, director of Venezuela's state-run telecommunications agency, said several local channels carried by cable television have breached broadcasting laws and should be removed from the airwaves.

Cabello warned cable operations on Saturday evening that they could find themselves in jeopardy if they keep showing those channels.

''They must comply with the law, and they cannot have a single channel that violates Venezuelan laws as part of their programming,'' he said.
WILL SEAN PENN OR DANNY GLOVER OR OLIVER STINE PROTEST THIS?

NOPE.

THEY ARE LEFTISTS FIRST AND COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS.

AS ARTISTS THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES - BUT BY THEIR SUPPORT FOR THUGS LIKE CHAVEZ AND CASTRO THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY PROVEN THAT THEY HAVE NO SHAME.

UPDATE: IT'S UP TO 6 COUNT 'EM SIX UN-PLUGGED STATIONS NOW!
