How stupid is CNN?

Or is it its evening anchor the really stupid one?

Daniel Viotto had again the dubious privilege to be totally manipulated by Castro (and Chavez) who are playing CNN as a fiddle, at least the Spanish language broadcast of the group, CNN en Español.

See, Chavez stopped in Havana on his way back from his latest vacation trip. He met Castro who seems to be indeed recovering. They had a nice chat. A video was made. The video was released when already Chavez was back in Caracas. The video was released to hit full impact the evening news. While the sound track showed us a Castro piling lauds high and deep on his pupil Chavez, Viotto, totally oblivious of the political game at hand was counting the liver spots on Castro's face (or some equivalent medical banality that I do not care to remember).

That is right, CNN is offering free of charge, once again, the full blessing of Castro on Chavez, while its anchor is looking at trivially irrelevant details on Castro's health. I mean, yes, the health of Castro is news, but what Castro is doing with Chavez is bigger, much bigger news and Viotto, or the CNN editor, or both, are totally unaware of it, are clueless. Or are Castro's supporters.

Someone should get fired at CNN really soon....

PS: live blogging by the way, the news on the video was not even on the CNN site when I started writing this post, I could only find this, but Globovision was showing it all.
