Venezuela pulls Spanish-language CNN from air for 'distorting truth'

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government ordered the suspension of CNN's Spanish-language service from Venezuela's airwaves on Feb. 15, accusing it of distorting the truth in coverage. 

U.S.-based 'CNN en Espanol' became unavailable on Venezuela's major cable providers minutes after a statement by telecommunications regulator Conatel announcing the suspension.
