The news got a lot of anti-chavez people out to march to the oil company headquarters. At the oil company headquarters they were directed to march on the palace because the coup leaders wanted a confrontation. There were anti-chavez snipers waiting on rooftops and they shot anti-chavez marchers.

The coup leaders recorded a statement about the deaths BEFORE they occured (because the whole thing was panned).

The anti-chavez crowds weren't incited to violence. The were set up to be killed by the people putatively on their side. The media was totally complicit because they worked with the coup plotters to get people to the oil station where they knew they'd be rerouted towards the palace where they got shot by their ring-leaders, the anti-chavez snipers.

If that happened in the US, the stations would lose a lot more than their license to use the public airwaves.
