According to the U.S. media, nearly every Latin American leader (unless in power because of a coup) wants to be Hugo Chavez. Just after Venezuela announced that it would be taking over 34 radio stations because they failed to “comply with regulations” , President Rafael Correa announced that Ecuador would nationalize “many” radio and television stations because “their concessions were granted illegitimately. “.
How many is many is still unknown but Correa is expected to release a list of the targeted stations next week.

Yes, he is after all his “perrito faldero”. How can you explain then, his banning of the Simpsons in Ecuador http://bit.ly/Obb5B
Is this really necessary for a bolivarian revolution?
