CNN on its mistakes, on Chavez and "baseless accusations"
As TVNewser summarizes, it’s been a week of back and forth between CNN and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Chavez has picked on CNN for “instigating” his murder and for a production error that caused “Who Killed Him?” to be placed under Chavez’ picture.
Now, FishbowlDC has obtained this response from CNN:
We are observers, not political players. We are committed to continuing to cover the current situation in Venezuela in a fair and objective manner. For example, we’ve frequently offered live, extended coverage of President Chavez’s speeches and news conferences, even when he uses our air to voice his criticisms of CNN.
We work hard to avoid errors on our air but we are human and sometimes mistakes will happen, especially considering the dynamics of a 24-hour news channel.
