Venezuela orders arrest of TV owner critical of Chavez

Thats the funny thing about Communism , you are not allowed to speak ill of the big guy !
Hugo probably wants to start his own variety show now anyway!



BBC
The Venezuelan authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the owner of a private television channel fiercely critical of President Hugo Chavez.

Prosecutors accuse Guillermo Zuloaga, who owns the Globovision channel, of business irregularities.

Mr Zuloaga's supporters say the warrant is an effort to silence him. The government says all due legal procedures have been followed.

Opposition groups accuse Mr Chavez of trying to control the media.
