"From the time it goes on the air until it signs off, Globovision lets Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have it with both barrels. The Caracas-based opposition news and opinion channel's newsreaders and reporters — who make no pretense of impartiality and remain undeterred by harassment and threats of a takeover — regularly blast the president with obviously slanted coverage while giving opposition politicians free and usually unchallenged rein to vent."

Chavez is sending clear signals that he may take control of Globovision, asserting in a recent televised address that the government was entitled to a near-majority of stock in the channel's holding company because of one major shareholder's financial problems and the death of another, which Chavez contends should result in the stock reverting to the government."
