Snowden reportedly headed to Venezuela via Havana and Moscow
May 29, 2013: "The fall of the last bastion of free speech in Venezuela"
http://j.mp/1a4pJxL (FP)
"For years, Venezuela's government has dodged accusations that it does
not protect freedom of speech. Critics usually point to the frequent
use of public airwaves to broadcast government propaganda, as well as
the many TV and radio stations the government has shut down for
playing critical content. The government usually responds by citing
the continued operation of Globovisin, a sharply critical all-news
station (or rather, the only critical news station). Chavistas claim
that its survival throughout the Chvez era refutes any allegations of
censorship. But the government will have to find another weak alibi.
As of the last few days, Globovisin's critical presentation of the
news feels like a thing of the past."
