I also have yet to see any evidence that the US was pulling the strings at RCTV.There were some papers that surfaced last week about some of the reporters receving grants from U.S organizations but that´s it.
RCTV was hardly "continuously pushing propaganda". Most of their programming consists of soap operas and entertainment shows.
What the government didnt like was one of the morning shows with one of the most critical reporters and the evening news for showing the population the constant corruption and huge problem with crime in the country.

Chavez closed it and now we only have one news station reporting on what´s going on.
During all the protests yesterday this was the only station that reported what was going on in the streets.
