Chavez Wants to Bring Suit Against CNN for "Instigating Murder"
Reuters says the caption appeared to be a production mistake — confusing a Chavez news item with one on the death of NFL player Sean Taylor. The anchor said "take the image down" when the mistake was realized. But Chavez is calling for a probe after reviewing the broadcast, questioning why the photograph and wording were left on screen for several seconds. "I want the state prosecutor to look into bringing a suit against CNN for instigating murder in Venezuela." >More: The BBC reports the mistake happened Monday on CNN En Espanol. "In a statement, CNN said its presenter had immediately made clear on air that there had been a mistake." Interesting to note, if the mistake did happen on Monday, the reports of Taylor's death did not come out until Tuesday morning. >Update: CNN tells us the error occurred Tuesday not Monday as the BBC reported. >Update, Update: We've added the graphic in question. The translation, as Reuters reports, is "Who Killed Him?" Email This Post |
