CARACAS (Reuters) - President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government has pulled a Colombian television channel from Venezuela's airwaves, Caracol Television said on Thursday, slamming the move as a crackdown on media.

Maduro's administration frequently blasts neighbouring Colombia for being part of what it describes as a global right-wing conspiracy to bring down socialism in oil-rich Venezuela.
