Who owns RCTV? What are their names? How do they influence the Brazilian government to intervene in a purely Venezuelan dispute?

Thats what most of EU and the world use to say about Germany and how many millions of people died because no-one intervened until it was far too late to save lives?

Loose the most essential right of speech and the press and you loose liberty! Perhaps you should consider moving to China..

You mean Shove-ass shows Brazil the finger?

Perhaps Lula is just a puppet in the hands of Shove-ass!

Free press ?What is that ?It exists nowhere in the world .In Italy there is Berlusconi,in the rest of the world there is Maxwell and Murdoch.Also there is Turner etc,etc,etc,etc.The own the press and decide what gets into the media .All the rest are mostlyillusions from brainwashed people .
Fzact is that the media are corporate owned and publish only what their owners want you to read and believe.THey are quite succesfull at that,starting with making you believe that there is something called 'free press ' .

If their darling Shove-ass shows his real colors as the facist socialist dictator he is, we have to call on the EVIL JEWS to make him look better. How pathetic!

Tonny,

Yes, the media are controlled to some extent by their owners, but not by the goverment, as Shove-ass wants to do, good old Stalin style.

In a free democracy there are many differently slanted news outlets, but in any other facist socialist country, like Cuba, now Venezuela etc. the goverment wnats to control and censor!

Can you tell the difference?

Quotes from above :
' Who owns RCTV? '
Who cares ? They have the right to free speech or they do not , you decide .
' What are their names? '
So you want The State to Spy on people and gather names ?
' Venezuelan dispute? '
It is not just a ' Venezuelan dispute? ' it involves People all over the Planet , many of them are ' Venezuelan ' .

' Free press ? What is that ? It exists nowhere in the world . '
Please , that is an insane opinion . Here is the ' Free Press ' right here in front of your eyes . No one is telling me what i can or can not report .

' Israel should free tens of thousands of Palestinian political prisoners held and rotting at Israeli jails.'

Tens of thousands ?
Are ' Palestinians ' immune from jail ? They have no gangs or crime like the rest of the Planet ? They are all innocent ?

' As of August 8, 2006, there are 9273 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli '
'9850 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails By Jul 19, 2006'
etc etc etc
Tens of thousands ?
