Merida, March 17th, 2010 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – After Venezuela president Hugo Chavez publically criticised website Noticiero Digital for falsely reporting the assassination of a government official, national and international mass media alleged that the Venezuelan government wanted to censor the Internet. Various government officials have responded that internet media is not exempt from already existing laws.
