Chavez TV show marks anniversary
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez's weekly television and radio programme "Alo Presidente" is marking its 10th anniversary.

What began as a regular radio broadcast by the newly-elected socialist leader in May 1999 has evolved into a several-hour long televised address.

It can involve live phone calls, ad hoc announcements on government policy and special guests.

The programme, transmitted on Sundays, has never been far from controversy.

1. Funny how much noise corporate media makes over Chavez's regularly scheduled program,
considering it takes ages until people researching Latin America news start discovering OTHER Latin American leaders ALSO have their OWN SHOWS on a weekly basis, as well.

Not one goddamned peep about them, of course. There is not the same obsession with either overthrowing or murdering those guys, to the same degree, except for Evo Morales, and no insane drive to spend every article maligning them by any means possible.
