Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested

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."

"Combined with the allegations of vote fraud and voter suppression in opposition neighborhoods"

Except lets not mention the history of plunder of south america by americans and various peoples of the world shall we? Nor the constant lies and misinformation the US constantly puts out about Venezuela.

What the hell is going on with /.'s moderation system? The parent post started with a +2 from Karma, a little while later it had jumped to +5, now it's down to +3. Okay, I understand, maybe someone disagreed and modded it down. Except the only mods I see are:

• 30% Informative
• 20% Insightful
• 20% Interesting

How did I start with +2, get (apparently) a +1 each for those three categories, and then drop to +3? I note that there is 30% left over, which might be a downmod that would cancel the Informative, but even then it should be +4. Can the mod system only show 3 moderations? Or is the system screwing with me? It doesn't matter much (I've got excellent and I'm in no danger of losing it), but I'm genuinely curious.
