[lbo-talk] Piece I wrote on Venezuela and other things

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

I thought I stated that they weren't allowed to renew their contract?  No
one is questioning the US's role in interventions in the region, everyone is
aware of that, but you can't deny that it was a mistake in that it gave the
right-wing media internationally and nationally a huge amount of ammunition
against Chavez.

And Iran is the only country in the world with F-14s in its aerial fleet,
but I understand the sentiment.  Almost all of the private media and many
foreign governments supported the coup attempt against Chavez, why was RCTV
the only license that wasn't renewed, I'm curious.  Was it that much more
over the top in its manipulation of events on the day of the coup?
