The TV station whose license was not renewed by Hugo Chavez, causing protests around the world:
A ) has won international journalism awards for its even-handed coverage of politics in Venezuela.
B ) is widely respected for in-depth reporting of current events affecting citizens of the Lost City of Atlantis.
C ) preempted regular programs for two days prior to the coup attempt against the democratically elected government in 2002 in order to broadcast wall-to-wall calls for Chavez to be removed, refused to show thousands of his supporters who poured into the streets to demand his return, and sent its owner to pledge support for the coup-installed dictator who had eliminated the Supreme Court, the National Assembly and the Constitution.
Hint: that guy Chavez sure can bear a grudge.

B ) even-handedly apportion the windfall among competing interests located on Mars, Pluto and Venus.
C ) Give 81% of Iraqi oil to multi-national oil companies.
Hint: our invasion was originally code-named Operation Iraqi Liberation.
