Dozens of radio stations shut down in Venezuela Story Highlights
Venezuela government takes dozens of radio stations off air
Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has cracked down on local media

(CNN) — At least 34 private radio stations in Venezuela were closed indefinitely Friday, and 206 more were at risk of being shut down, a government official said.

The stations were closed for various reasons, including expired permits and operation by unauthorized personnel, said Diosdado Cabello, minister of Public Works and Housing.

"Freedom of expression is not the most sacred freedom," Cabello was quoted as saying by CNN affiliate Globovision.

Cabello said the closings affected at least 11 states nationwide and 206 additional stations would shut down in the coming days.

Most station owners said the closures were politically motivated. The government of leftist President Hugo Chavez has cracked down on the media.

A "Special Bill Against Media Crimes" was introduced before the National Assembly this week, Cabello said, adding that he hoped the bill would pass.

The government has also heightened its battle against Globovision, the only critical private broadcaster in the nation. In June, it launched a fifth investigation into the network.

In early June, officials arrived at Globovision to accuse the station of not paying about $2.3 million in taxes for certain advertisements it aired in 2002 and 2003.

A few hours before, the government raided the home of Globovision President Guillermo Zuloaga, an avid hunter, to see whether he had killed any protected animals. It was the second raid on Zuloaga’s home in two weeks.

"This is something to try to scare Globovision, to silence Globovision, something they are not going to achieve," Zuloaga said at the time.

RCTV, another independent station that criticized Chavez, lost its broadcast license two years ago. It had to go off the public airwaves and transmit solely on cable.

Other TV stations hung on to their frequencies by adjusting their editorial line, the Reporters Without Borders press organization said in its 2009 World Report.

Venezuelan officials have repeatedly denied any political motives. Chavez has labeled as "terrorists" any TV station owners who criticize the government.

You answer your own question.
Marxist Dictators.

However, I don’t mind your post (being a REAL democrat who prizes free speech and freedom of the press) because someone has to always keep the subject alive to prevent us from ever becoming socialist, communist, Marxist, or anything of the sort.

Sure would like to have my party back. They have four years. After that we are looking at either the death of socialism in the world, or the beginning of the Socialist Paradise (No, thanks, don’t want it).

Do you think it will do better than the last wrestling show they had?

This is a very important question for me, as I have been thinking about this for quite a long time now. I have saved up around five hundred dollars over the last month, and was wondering if I should buy an Ipod touch. I have always wanted one since its launch, but didn’t have the money for it. I now have more than enough money. Here is the catch though. I am well aware that a "supposed" new ipod touch (3rd gen.) is on its way to the market, and also that there is a new iphone that is in development. This iphone may make it to the Verizon wireless market because of Verizon’s upcoming 4g network, but still is unlikely because of AT&T renewing their contract. I have an idea in my head that near after the Apple conference in September, the new devices will be unveiled. I just want some of your opinions on what you think I should do….

Much help is appreciated. I hope I didn’t waste your time. Thank you.

well, i would wait, and see what comes out. i have an ipod touch, i absolutely hate it. it always freezes and shuts off and is always low on battery "/
i would wait for something new
i doubt the iphone will come to verizon though.
i hope i helped

Some of the nation’s top civil rights leaders are angrily accusing right-wing media star Glenn Beck of "hijacking" the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King’s "I Have a Dream" speech by planning to rally his conservative forces at the same Lincoln Memorial site on the anniversary date of Aug. 28 — and so they are planning a counter-rally and march of their own.

"Beck is hijacking the imagery and symbolism of August 28 and the Lincoln Memorial to promote an agenda of intolerance," said Marc H. Morial, the former New Orleans mayor who is now president and CEO of the National Urban League, one of the counter-rally organizers, said earlier tonight in a telephone interview.

The Morial-led Urban League is teaming with well-known activists such as the Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network in planning a "mass rally" and march that will begin at a high school in Northeast Washington. Morial said that one of King’s surviving children, Martin Luther King III, is also on board. Less than three miles away, the Fox News Channel host and former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are headlining a heavily promoted rally called "Restoring Honor."

Morial said in the phone interview that civil rights leaders believe that "Beck is deliberately trying to poke a stick in our eye, or kick sand in our faces" by holding the rally on the 47th anniversary and at the spot of King’s most famous speech, at a massive rally to lobby support for what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that ended legal segregation in America.

Beck claimed earlier this month on his radio show that one of his goals is to "reclaim the civil right movement," saying that it should be about individual liberties and not social justice or supporting undocumented immigration, which he called "modern day slavery." But as Beck’s popularity has risen since launching his Fox News program the same week that Barack Obama became the nation’s first African-American president — angering many with attacks linking Obama to socialism or communism and also triggering outrage with his comment that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Beck is not "high-jacking" Martin Luther King’s legacy… He is honoring it! In fact, MLK’s niece, who marched with Dr. King, and is a highly educated doctor in her own right, totally supports Beck’s activities. They have become great friends.

Actually when the August 28 date was first chosen, he didn’t even realize that it was the anniversary of the MLK speech… until someone pointed it out to him. But since his goals for the program are very compatible with the MLK speech and MLK’s entire message, he saw no disconnect.

But frankly even if he did, are you saying no one can have a rally on that day? Where does that come from?

Beck feels that today’s civil rights leaders have strayed away from the message of MLK. That was the point behind the recapturing the civil rights movement.

And don’t even try to say that Beck is a racist or a bigot. Because if you have watched any of his shows discussing the issues facing Blacks and the POSITIVE role of Blacks in history, you couldn’t possibly believe that bologna.

Beck has attacked Obama and the radicals whom he surrounds himself with on the ISSUES and uses their own words to prove his points. It’s amazing how people consistently ignore that rather important point.
