Banning a channel because they spoke bad things about the Chavez administration.Is there Freedom Speech?Is there freedom of speech when the governament allows only one voice?

I am hardly a Chavez fan, but to be fair to him in this, it should be noted that there are a number of papers across South America and beyond that are covering this issue and the resultant protests quite thoroughly. Nor is the closed paper the only voice of criticism in Venezuela.

I dislike this kind of back-handed censorship and think it wrong, but the station involved was the only one to actively support -- not just report on -- a coup against Chavez. This puts this news organ well beyond the FOX News or NYT partisanship line. So, their is bad faith on both sides of this particular equation.
