Description: Venezuela Bans CNN For Misinterpreting & Distorting Truth By: RT Venezuelas media watchdog has ordered CNNs Spanish-language channel off the air across the country accusing it of engaging in a propaganda war. Nicolas Maduro said earlier the channel is sticking its nose in the countrys internal affairs and manipulating information. The Venezuelan National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) has opened an administrative sanctioning proceeding against the CNN Español news channel for allegedly attempting to violate the peace and democratic stability of the country. The sanctions were imposed due to the content that has been disseminated by the international news outlet in a systematic and repeated way in the channels daily programming said a statement released by Conatel. #COMUNICADO OFICIAL>> #CONATEL abre procedimiento administrativo sancionatorio a @CNNEE https://t.co/PmKVQO1O5y @andreseloypsuv http://pic.twitter.com/GE3MIzTb5E Conatel Venezuela (@Conatel) February 15 2017 Conatel has ruled that CNNs reporting often lacks proof and fuels a climate of intolerance by distorting the truth in an inadequate manner in contradiction to the provisions of article 58 of the Venezuelan constitution which states that everyone has the right to timely and impartial information. The move comes after a joint investigation by CNN and CNN Español claimed to have uncovered serious irregularities in the issuing of Venezuelan passports and visas inside the embassy in Baghdad. On February 6 CNN Español broadcast a report fingering Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami as one of those allegedly responsible for the scheme. The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez accused CNN of launching a propaganda war against her country after the channel reported about alleged passports sales to people linked to terrorism and drug trafficking. She accused the channel of spreading an absolute lie calling such an approach a pity. CNN en Español launched a psychological warfare operation a war propaganda operation mounted absolutely on falsehoods she said. Rodriguez also demanded action from the broadcast authorities and the legal team. Prior to Conatels announcement President Nicolas Maduro indicated that he wants the channel out of the country for its manipulation of news. CNN do not get into the affairs of Venezuelans. I want CNN well away from here. Outside of Venezuela. Do not put your nose in Venezuela Maduro said as cited by El Nacional. Some media like CNN tried to manipulate. They cannot manipulate!
