But yes it is disconcerting to say the least.

And it proves that hard line capitalists don't give a fuck about the politics of the thing. For them it's about profit above all. The owners of Globovision should be ashamed for selling out when their journalists are the best in Venezuela. They just shit on the faces of hundreds of good journalists who want to simply tell the truth. Now those journalists will be tasked with lying about shit (and over time they will come to accept it to keep their livelihood). It's shameful.
