no newspapers (eg US local) have carried the story, sometimes there are pages on google with lists of the same headline - not this time.

fascinating interview with propaganist no1 juan forero - maybe a change of heart?! we had a very good screening of 'revolution' here in london a couple of days ago with the hands off venezuela campaign http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org - next up: a bolivarian tv station!

>JUAN FORERO: Well, some of the money does come from the government. These are very simple, even primitive transmitters that are set up in people's homes or in the lobby of a housing complex. So it doesn't take a lot of money to get one of these things started up, and in fact, probably one of the biggest obstacles was just getting a license. In the past, these places were shut down by the government, but under the Chavez government, they want these places to really flourish, and one of the things that they've done is they have enacted a law that facilitates licenses to these places quite easily. And now, Chavez has announced that there will be new funding this year for a number of these radio stations.
