Some Venezuelan television channels began altering their programs Thursday, citing fears of penalties
under a new law restricting violence and sexual content over the airwaves.
The law, which took effect Thursday, limits broadcasts deemed to be obscene or violent and details a range of offenses for which the government may fine noncompliant media organizations.

it displayed the day's newspapers, filled with coverage of Wednesday riots that police said left at
least 25 injured.
"We cannot show the images," said Carlos Acosta, who hosts the morning news program "Front Page," as cameras focused on several Caracas newspapers.
President Hugo Chavez signed the Law for Social Responsibility in Radio and Television on Tuesday

for hours at a time with unscheduled notice is

Hypocrisy and blindness.
Listen to the righteous respond.
Or not.
