Sean Penn: Journalists Who Criticize Hugo Chavez Should be Jailed

Sean Penn was interviewed by Bill Maher about Haiti. Maher asked him about his friend Hugo Chavez. Penn rambled about the great things Chavez have done for the 80% who have no dreams, he didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but it’s clear what he wants to happen to those who criticize Hugo Chavez.

PENN: The collaborative opportunity in Haiti, when you talk about Hugo Chavez, and some of the other people who are demonized [think Castro], and you know, when some of these countries accuse us of an occupation — where I believe this was strictly a humanitarian action by the United States military, and an incredible one – I’m a little sympathetic. Because every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it! And accept it. And this is mainstream media, who should – truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.

Isn’t it funny? Now that we have a socialist president Penn feels the need to defend the US.

(Quote starts at about the 7:00 mark.)

Newsbusters points out how many times the main stream media in the US has characterized Chavez as a thug dictator.Let’s just say, it isn’t that often. I guess straight up, unbiased news reports are enough to lead one to believe Chavez is a thug.

If Hugo Chavez is so great, why doesn’t Sean Penn move to Venezuela? Why doesn’t Sean Penn go live in any of the communist countries he loves so much?
