Reply #2: Chavez sued CNN earlier this year

[KurtNYC]

lemme just check what happened with that...

edit to add: Not sure it went forward although CNN half apologized:

Tony Maddox, a vice president of CNN International, said that the network had already given a detailed apology for the mistake in using footage from Mexico and "denies categorically being engaged in a campaign to discredit or attack Venezuela".

As for the image of Mr Chávez next to bin Laden, Mr Maddox said that “unrelated news stories can be juxtaposed in a given segment of television news in the same way that a newspaper page or a website can have news items with no relation to each other placed side by side".

And Michael Moore rode CNN until they retracted and backed down.
