Venezuela's Chavez calls for news monitoring to fight 'media war' against
him

2008-04-27 03:51:15 -

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is asking his
government to establish a 24-hour news monitoring system to combat what
he calls a Ťmedia warť against his administration. Chavez proposed
Saturday that officials open regional monitoring centers across the
country. The president says the offices would report to a national
center and help the government respond swiftly to negative coverage with
its own side of the story. Chavez has long had tense relations with
private news outlets critical of his administration. He accuses several
of backing a brief 2002 coup against him. He has been upset most
recently by negative coverage of his push toward socialism.
