I read somewhere yesterday that Venezuela was setting up their own news network, modeled after CNN.

Maybe that will get more news out - though some criticize that it will be government run and naturally slanted toward the ruling party's doctrine.

Brazil isn't signing on, it seems they are also coming out with a South American news service.

In any case, maybe now the rest of the world will have the opportunity to have another source of news. Competition is good, especially in the information arena.
