News from Venezuela is that the Supreme Court has denied a restraining order action on RCTV and Globovision (two rampant opposition TV channels) brought against them by The Latin American Foundation for the Development of Equity (Fundaequidad). The Supreme Court upheld the TV channels' right to free speech under article 58 of the Venezuelan constitution.
And thus the opposition media, via the most important judicial chamber in the land, upholds its constitutional right of unfettered opinion and is free to continue with its accusations that the government of Venezuela is gagging free speech and owns its puppet judiciary.
Is that right? Am I missing something here?
