Of course not everyone like the new system in Venezuela but these past events had nothing to do with free speech, just against the government.

MCTV committed treason and that is why Hugo declined to renew their contract. During the 2002 attempted takeover MCTV told Venezuelans to "go out and fight" and lied about Chavez stepping down. That is treason and a TV station in America would never get a renewed contract if they did that against Bush or any other president.

It is suppose to do that and will do that for a while but once it starts building up steam it starts causing all the problems. Monopolies and imperialism are not the freedom that everyone wants, but only to the ones in power.
