Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested

Posted by timothy on from the or-in-this-case-on-air dept.

WrongSizeGlass writes "AP is reporting the owner of Venezuela's only remaining TV channel that takes a critical line against President Hugo Chavez was arrested Thursday. 'Guillermo Zuloaga, owner of Globovision, was arrested on a warrant for remarks that were deemed "offensive" to the president,' Attorney General Luisa Ortega said. This comes on the heels of last week's story titled Venezuela's Chavez To Limit Internet Freedom."

    Oh Christ, Penn's off his meds again? I mean seriously - he should be wearing a jacket with sleeves that wrap all the way around and tie at the back.

    Look at the bright side though: the best supporter Chavez can rustle up is Penn. I don't see his policies sweeping the free world any time soon.

    He's right. America could easily invade and overthrow him. Obviously we have no right to do so, and we should not, but we CAN. YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE CA-

    Damn catchy chant.

    Or, someone could hire this midget to imitate him, and post it all over the intertubes. Let's see Chávez portray /that/ as a CIA attack!
