CNN Taken Off the Air in Venezuela

Amid the uprising in Venezuela today and the global attention it is receiving, CNN International was taken off the air.

Per CNN en Español’s report, DirecTV, Net Uno, Intercable and Telefónica all were ordered to block the cable news network.



How dare they censor the press. Doesn't Maduro know who they are?

BBC cut off as well.

Yesterday - I was told that we are no different than Venezuela, other than we can print money.

I assume you are referring to Trump with your maniac statement... You mean Trump can't do that now? I thought we were just like them...

Trump won't get around to quashing the media until he's done trashing the law like legally issued subpoenas. Should be a laugh riot when Deutsche Bank is raided.

Why would Trump want to shut down the news media? CNN has like, 3 viewers average. They talk and no one listens. Besides, he's been embarrassing them and scoring point off them for the past 3 years. All Trump has to do is let things continue to run their course in America and CNN and MSNBC will continue to decline into irrelevancy. The last thing he wants to do is interfere with that process.

Here we have those who would ban social media and only let us have the MSM whitewashed and officially sanctioned fake news to tell us what's going on. Let Venezuela be a warning for us.
