South America set for Al Jazeera-style Chavez-backed TV
BUENOS AIRES -- A Venezuelan-backed TV network modeled after Al Jazeera is set to begin broadcasts throughout South America.
Critics fear it could become a pulpit for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Telesur, short for "Television of the South," is billed as a commercial-free, hemispherewide counterbalance to North American media. It is slated to begin broadcasts within a few weeks.
"Soon we will have Telesur, a channel with information for South American countries, because is not possible that Venezuela and the other southern countries depend only on information from CNN," Mr. Chavez said ...
How in the world does he expect the masses to distingush between a Marxist-Stalinist propaganda tool of the invincibly ignorant and Telesur?
And then there is this pile of steamy profundity from the pinhead with a Che complex:
Capitalism and democracy are incompatible, leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said while espousing the benefits of socialism.
"The truth is democracy is impossible with capitalism because (with capitalism) there are only a few powerful while the majority of people are weak," said Chavez, El Universal newspaper reported Thursday.
"The course of socialism is the only true democracy."
Our Lady of Coromoto, patroness of Venezuela, please pray for the conversion of all souls.
