Tha media attacks Chavez, cuz Chavez is proposin a system of government most appropriate to our society. Why they don't show the protests against the government of U.S? Your government is defendin the same interests as the media, and vice versa. These interests are based on capitalism, advertisin and consumerism. And for them there is nothin more important than money. They don't matter if the society complain, they will only show what is profitably for them. Think 'bout it.

I quote myself: In Venezuela it is being done by force and the people are actually protesting. That is a freedom to protest. Did anyone protest that in the US?

Venezuelans are doing exactly what Americans don't do and that is protest. But even when we do it is not shown on tv.

[FakeProphet91]

Lol. What can ya say 'bout Venezuela or Cuba? ahh ye, you say what ya hear in TV or radio stations. How can ya say that Venezuela has no freedom, tha political opposition owns tha media, n' they say everyshit they want. As I said ya, these radio stations were closed cuz they didn't tha legal permission to transmit. Turn off yar tv, n' we are proud to be the next Cuba.
