Apparently the networks are refusing to broadcast Obama's immigration
reform speech tonight.

But apparently you can watch the speech on TeleSur English, along with
commentary from Aura Bogado, a leading immigration reform expert (and
editor of Colorlines.org).

This is kind of an interesting turn of events.

There's a law in Venezuela that the private TV networks have to broadcast
the President's speech.

Some people claim that this law is a big assault on press freedom.

Now American liberals can taste the other side of the argument. :)
