Okay then it's a "story" as told told by hard Left, State run media. I'll stick with propaganda, except now it's graduated to State sponsored propaganda.

The inaugural broadcast coincided with the 222nd birthday of liberator Simón Bolívar, dreamer of a united Americas and inspiration for the Bolivarian revolution shaking Latin America.
Co-founded by Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba and Uruguay, TeleSUR’s intent is to provide news and cultural programming from a Latin American perspective and to help the process of regional integration.
Most important, according to the TeleSUR mission statement, is to “allow all the inhabitants of this vast region to spread its own values, to disclose its own image, to debate its own ideas and to transmit its own content.”

I'm not here to defend Conservatives, but Progressives have much to answer for themselves that pre dates the "ilk". Like bringing in the Federal Reserve, our dubious entrance into 2 World Wars, and Prohibition. I don't call any of those progress, do you?
