If you can stand 10 minutes of a rambling Chavez without dramamine, listen to the nugget at the end of this video, (9 minutes 30 seconds). Chavez admits infiltrating CNN even before becoming president in 1997! He said he wanted to take over CNN back then, failed, but that “the people are still there. CNN, we have them infiltrated.”

CNN en Español’s chief correspondent for Central America, Krupskaia Alis Rumazo, was “third secretary” in then dictator Daniel Ortega’s government in Nicaragua in 1990, acording to this Heraldo article. The article quotes the Nicaraguan government’s gazette, edition 78, in case you might think they’re lying.

Chavez News Network indeed, no wonder CNN published all those lies. I have chills and am almost trembling. In this video Chavez quotes Marx’s Communist Manifesto on camera, and has the gall to defend democracy.
