Venezuela's President Threatens To Expel CNN
Evidently not a big fan of free speech
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has threatened to expel the US news network CNN from the country over its reporting of recent protests there.
Mr Maduro said he would take action if CNN did not "rectify its coverage".
Earlier, Mr Maduro said he was sending troops to the western state of Tachira, where there has been continuing unrest.
With tensions running high, the leader of the opposition, Henrique Capriles, has called for a fresh, peaceful anti-government march on Saturday.
