A great postscript to my previous post on how to check up on the poor quality of the media in general and guess what, it involves media control in Venezuela too: today they celebrate the 201st anniversary of the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence (1810, during the First Republic); during the ceremonies the Venezuelan Comptroller has said that "the private media are a danger to society" and "people should make great efforts not to be misled by the media...because they are permanently distorting reality to bewilder people.". His name? General Clodosbaldo Russián. No, I didn't just make that up.
Update: Poor old Clodosbaldo, he died a few days later...
