Chavez Does Elvis One Better, Shoots Out Entire TV Station

Brian Doherty | May 18, 2007

Venezuala's li'l dictator Hugo Chavez will be shutting down his country's most popular TV station, RCTV, for the crime of upsetting him. Tons of details and news reports collected on this site from the Human Rights Foundation. My favorite detail: His government produces a 183 page propaganda book explaining why it just had to clamp down on the out-of-control broadcaster.
