Argentina’s pro-business government is pulling the plug on its involvement in the Spanish-language TV network that was started by the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez over what it said was the broadcaster’s blacklisting of alternative viewpoints.

Telesur was launched in 2005 with funding from six regional governments aligned with Venezuela, including Cuba and Bolivia. On Sunday, the administration of Mauricio Macri announced that Argentina would unload its nearly 20% stake in the venture, which has presented itself as a leftist alternative to mainstream media coverage of Latin America.

The country is leaving because it was shut out of financial and editorial decisions, said Argentinian Minister of Communication Hermann Lombardi.

“Argentina was a partner prohibited from sharing our view,” he told radio station Vorterix. “It’s an interesting South American television project, but there was no pluralism at Telesur.”

1. Good. That channel is a sewage drain that spews out Chavista propaganda garbage

I expect it'll go off-air completely once Maduro and his cronies lose power and Chavismo comes to an end, considering the Chavista regime is its main financier.

2. I expect it to fold too, however, there is an easy way to endure. Sell advertising

If its so great and the audience so loyal then its sure to attract advertisers.

3. Hopefully just the first of many Chavez abominations

to go and join their leader.
