Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday repeated his wrath over the U.S.- based TV network CNN after the latter aired his image with a caption allegedly inciting his murder.
"Hitler could be the boss of the CNN," he told a press conference here, saying the news network has been biased against him.
The president showed three excerpts of the CNN's aired programs this year, and one of them was broadcast on Tuesday by the CNN Spanish channel, which showed his image with the caption "Who killed him?"
The CNN's move was to incite his assassination, Chavez said, also criticizing the United States for trying to develop "a world media tyranny" to impose its ideology everywhere.
The CNN ran the above caption for several seconds during a story on a spat between Chavez and his Colombian counterpart Alvaro Uribe. The CNN apologized on Wednesday, saying it was a technical mix-up as the caption should have referred to a story about Washington Redskins football star Sean Taylor, who was shot this week in his Florida home.
Chavez said he did not believe that was a mistake, vowing to pursue legal actions against the CNN.
