Juan Domingo Wolf-in-Cordero's Clothing?

Twitter is abuzz with rumors that the guy who’s just bought a controlling stake in the opposition news channel Globovision, an insurance magnate by the name of José Domingo Cordero, is a fully paid up member of the bolibourgeoisie.
I don’t know that for a fact, but then, who else would buy a channel that’s just been excluded from the Digital Switchover?
Looks to me like this really is last-orders for independent broadcasting in Venezuela.
Coming just ahead of April 14th Elections, these guys really aren’t leaving anything up to chance, are they?
