Paranoia Strikes Deep…

CARACAS (Reuters) – [1] Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Wednesday CNN may have been instigating his murder when the U.S. TV network showed a photograph of him with a label underneath that read “Who killed him?”The caption appeared to be a production mistake — confusing a Chavez news item with one on the death of a football star. The anchor said “take the image down” when he realized.

But Chavez called for a probe in an interview on state television, where he repeatedly reviewed a tape of the broadcast, questioning why the unconnected 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” he said. “… undoubtedly it is part of the psychological warfare.”

There’s more to the story, of course and Reuters did a good job with it. Go read the whole thing.

Any doubts we may have had about Hugo Chavez and his insanity have now been erased. Clearly, the man doesn’t know his own friends.

Memo to Crazy Uncle Hugo…

Trust me; CNN would be the LAST network to instigate your murder.  And that’s an insult to CNN.
