Rupert Murdoch will cry about his TV stations too.
For anyone curious about why Hugo Chavez has taken the broadcast license from RCTV, here's a documentary that somehow never aired on our "free press", The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. If you haven't seen it yet, it's not only an open-and-shut case on the active, pre-meditated and grotesque collaboration of RCTV (and the Globovision news channel) in the failed military coup against Chavez, but a riveting inside story of the polarization gripping Venezuela. I also just found an interesting story at Znet on the rise of a co-op economy, one of many signs that the changes instituted by the Bolivarians aren't just rhetorical. One man (or family or privately held corporation) has no right to control the information commons, I'd say that on general principle – but when a pack of oligarchs openly conspires to impose a fascist dictatorship over the wishes of the people, by what right can they claim access to the people's airwaves?
