Seems to me that Sean Penn has been taking lessons from his hero, Hugo Chavez.

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.

Excuse me? You want the government imprisoning those who express the “wrong” point of view in their reporting of the news? You want to throw journalists into jail because they don’t agree with what some government bureaucrat defines to be the truth?

Tell you what, Sean – why don’t you head down to Venezuela or Cuba and stay there. After all, they already have the sort of press-responsibility statutes you speak of – journalists regularly go to jail for offending the government in Cuba, and the Venezuelan DICTATOR has shut down opposition media.
