In November 2014, a video producer at CNN made the gaffe of a lifetime mixing up President Obama's name for that of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, which proceeded to send social media into a fit of laughter.

Media against Venezuela and then say it was a mistake ..!
In a news segment focused on a US Navy Seal claiming to have shot and killed Bin Laden in the 2011 raid in Abbottabad, CNN aired a rolling news banner that read: "SEAL WHO CLAIMS HE KILLED OBAMA UNDER ATTACK."
The banner was shown for almost 50 seconds before it was deleted by the editors.
