6. I'm not Venezuelan, I just follow it closely.

And that's another poster who has me on ignore, so it's pointless. The ignorance of fly by nighters about Venezuelan politics is amusing though.

With Globovision gone there will be no platform for any opposition to have a voice on TV.

That is a big deal.

Think about that for a minute. What if our media never allowed Democrats to speak? They already downplay third parties. But what if there existed no platform where the Democrats could get a voice?

That's what the neo-Trots/Stalinists want. They want that to actually be a reality. It's insanity.

Anyone who decried the US media not allowing, eg, a third party candidate at Presidential debates or who decried the US media not covering speeches by third party candidates is a hypocrite if they are supportive of the media being owned completely by chavistas in Venezuela.
