'Aunt Jemima' cartoon raises ire
Monday, December 7
CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is upset with CNN for airing footage of the leftist leader with a caption "Who killed him?"
Chavez said his advisers recommended suing the network for airing the mistaken caption.
The Spanish-speaking edition of CNN erroneously ran the caption during a report on an ongoing squabble between Venezuela and Colombia. Chavez this week recalled Venezuela's ambassador to Colombia after Colombian President Alvaro Uribe revoked the Venezuelan president's permission to mediate the release of hostages held by Colombian rebels.
CNN said in a statement Wednesday the caption was supposed to be for a story about a recently slain NFL player killed in his Florida home.
