And Reporters Without Borders (RSF), who nobody can question where it stands in the political and ethical spectrum, in contrast to its unrelated cousin PSF, issues another precise and priceless statement, which includes jewels such as these:

motherland and by clearly threatening participants in its broadcasts
if they dont calm down, President Chvez is displaying paranoia and
intolerance, the press freedom organisation said”

about his goals, Reporters Without Borders added. RCTVs closure was
just the prelude to the progressive disappearance of all the opposition
press. Media that criticise the government will be snuffed out one by

Bolivariana de Noticias, of a group of pro-Chvez journalists called
Periodistas por la Verdad, who have been trying to get people to
believe that two supposed Reporters Without Borders members – Enzo
Pierini et Carlos Folchi – were distributing leaflets containing hate
messages targeted at President Chvez.”
kind of slur while refusing our requests for a meeting during the
fact-finding trip we made to Venezuela from 24 to 28 May, Reporters
Without Borders said. And it seems they did not agree that the news
conference we gave on the last day should be broadcast live and in full
by Globovisin”
