A man buys the Venezuelan El Nacional newspaper with the word 'Censored' on the front page instead of a picture in Caracas, August 18, 2010. A court ordered one of Venezuela's leading newspapers on Tuesday to stop publishing photographs depicting blood, guns and other violent images and warned it could face a hefty fine for having published a photo of bodies in a morgue. Venezuelan officials say the ruling involving El Nacional -- one of Venezuela's oldest newspapers and a fierce critic of President Hugo Chavez -- aims to protect children and adolescents from violent images, but opponents called the move politically motivated censorship.
