278. Since when does any broadcaster have rights to any part of publicly owned airwaves?
And what does this have to do with newspapers or any other print media? There are plenty of anti-Chavez newspapers in Venezuela--have any been shut down?
They were denied access to publicly owned TV/radio spectra because they participated in a coup in which he was held at gunpoint. They have not been closed or shut down, since they can still broadcast on cable and via satellite.
A couple of questions for you-- you don't have to have a license to start a newspaper, but you have to have one to start a radio or TV station. Why do you suppose that is? Is everybody who wants such a license but doesn't have one being denied freedom of speech?
