VHeadline Venezuela News reports: Venezuela's state-owned news agency, ABN is accusing (opposition-allied) 24/7 TV news channel Globovision of being used by the anti-Chavez political instrument to censor an interview with President Hugo Chavez Frias that was broadcast by the US news network CNN.
ABN says: "Even though Globovision daily broadcasts news by CNN as their "allied network," they rejected broadcast of the news-interview on Tuesday."
The state-owned news agency continues: "The interview was about the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Bolivarian Revolution and (President) Chavez' arrival of to power by popular vote ... the news network Globovision is openly against the Chavez government and has become the 'press office' of those opposing the government."
ABN notes that one of Globovision's board members, Alberto Federico Ravell, had participated with some Venezuelan politicians and (opposition) leaders some weeks ago in a meeting in Puerto Rico facilitated by the US State Department to devise a strategy against the constitutional amendment proposed by Venezuela's National Assembly.
"Given their summons to violence and the promotion of anti-democratic values, Globovision is frequently accused of irresponsible use of the air waves by TV users committees. As early as December 2002, the Public Attorney asked the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) to enforce the law regarding the high content of violence and aggression in their Globovision's broadcast schedule."
