Overcoming one's opposition...

One day has passed since Hugo Chávez closed RCTV in Venezuela. Now, only ONE DAY later, they're at it again...[BBC Mundo] predictible maybe, but not this fast! Basically RCTV was the most popular TV channel in Venezuela and it was also the ONLY independent station with national coverage, it also opposed most of what Chavez is doing. That's now gone, an opposition voice silenced to be replaced with a pawn:

The president says the new channel will better reflect his socialist revolution but RCTV and rights groups say Mr Chavez is limiting freedom of expression.

Now they have started proceedings to charge Globovision with inciting the assassination of the President, reports the daily newspaper El Carabobeño [Link] - "fue acusado este lunes de incitar al magnicidio" - Globovision was the only TV station to air footage of a large demonstration against the government's growing control over the media. Also, William Lara, the Minister of Communications has accused CNN of trying to establish an association between Al Qaeda and Hugo Chávez, saying that Chávez equates to violence and murder..." (translated from Telam (Argentina):"

"Con las imágenes CNN intenta establecer una asociación de imágenes entre Al Qaeda y Hugo Chávez, diciendo que Chávez es igual a violencia y muerte..."

I repeat a sentence from the BBC article that I have already written above:

Globovision was the only TV station to air footage of a large demonstration against the government's growing control over the media.

Another "threat to the country", which is how Chavez referred to RCTV? Or simply broadcasting the news! The future's bright...that will be because of the fireworks!!
