Time Warner poised to buy Chilevision-paper

Aug 24 (Reuters) - Media conglomerate Time Warner (TWX.N) is poised to purchase television network Chilevision, which is owned by Chile President Sebastian Pinera, local daily El Mercurio reported on Tuesday.

The U.S. company was prepared to pay between $140 million and $150 million for the Chilean network, the paper said.

During an interview with local Spanish-language station CNN Chile on Monday night, Pinera said he was anxiously awaiting confirmation of the sale.

Representatives of Time Warner and Chilevision were not immediately available for comment.

Self-made billionaire Pinera had vowed to sell his main business interests like Chilevision and his major share in Chile's main airline, LAN LAN.SN(LFL.N), before assuming the presidency in March. He has now sold his stake in LAN.

1. Philosophical fit. Maybe we can get Chilean news up North.

Pinera can take Turner's place on the Board.

2. They aren't that far removed from Pinochet, after all! Still a lot of fascist idiots there, too. n/t

3. How perfect--that U.S. corpo-fascist media moguls should own Chilean corpo-fascist media, too!

It's all one big, happy, super-duper rich, super-duper powerful...mafia.

4. It seems only yesterday we were hearing about US Army psy-ops people working in CNN's newsroom.

Once the news escaped about it they claimed it was for some job-training experience or some such rot for these Army interns who were getting out of the Army, if my memory's correct, and no big deal.

Of course there's NO decent excuse for that situation. None, whatsoever. I think this happened around 2000 or so.

They've probably been far more "into" this than we would EVER imagine for longer than we can grasp. It could be we're starting to find out more about it now that they've almost got the whole thing sewn up and there's little anyone can do to reverse it.

Well, for the moment we have the internetS until they figure some way to start blocking the ones they don't want to be involved, then they've got us. The next step for people would be by word of mouth, and they've got that covered by revealing they have portable heat ray operations now which can be moved to wherever they want to zap groups of people congregating, and subjecting them to so much pain they have to run away!

So evolved, aren't they? My, my, my. What God hath wrought.
