Iran to launch TV station in Bolivia |
2008-02-19 |
![]() Morales said the TV station is to be for “all of Latin America," AP reported. A presidential spokesman later confirmed that the channel, still in its planning stages, would be sponsored by Iran. Morales' announcement came following his re-election as president of Bolivia's largest and most powerful coca growers union, based in the stretch of Andean foothills known as the Chapare, where the TV station is to be operated. |

#5 TW, IIRC Hizb'allah has sent a few emmissaries to Venezuela, among others. I would expect this station to broadcast in Spanish. And then there are those ~20,000 blank Venezuelan passports that Hugo's cabinet minister admitted were .... misplaced ... a while back. |

#4 I love it, I have the mental image of the evening news team stoned to the gills. Sounds better than Monty Python. |

#3 I wouldn't have thought that many people speak Farsi in Latin America. Nor that Iran has spare funds for a venture guaranteed to lose money. |

#2 Morales should pay the Iranians with coca leaves. That'll twist their turbans. |
