Venezuela: Argentina can't "disappear" leftist TV network

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Monday that Argentina would not be able to "disappear" the Telesur regional television network as it erased the lives of people during the country's military dictatorship.

"The same actors who disappeared 30,000 young people in Argentina are trying to disappear Telesur," Maduro said of the conservative Argentine government that announced Sunday it would pull its nearly 20 percent stake out of the Spanish-language network.

Argentina said it was leaving because it had been shut out of financial and editorial decisions.

Maduro said the left-leaning network started by his predecessor President Hugo Chavez would continue to inform the Argentine people and stand for truth and freedom of expression in Latin America.

The Argentine fascists once again trying to shut down opposing views.

And good riddance to their money! When fascists get a hook into PUBLIC media, they don't just want to be included in financial and editorial decisions--they seek to control ALL financial and editorial decisions--and people end up with something like our own privatized NPR/TV, filled now with corporate commercials, giving MORE free air time to Donald Trump and ignoring the only clean, honest, likable, progressive candidate in our presidential race--Bernie Sanders--just like the Corporate Media.
