Netanyahu "possessed by the devil"?

Nicaraguan President: Netanyahu Is ‘Possessed By The Devil’

This is how CBS news begins this report.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is possessed by the devil.

The Nicaraguan leader made the comments to Globovision while he was slamming Netanyahu’s role for the current war in Gaza.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu appears to be possessed by the devil,” Oretga told Globovision. “He needs Pope Francis to exorcise it, to become appeased.”

To an American news audience only too likely to think such a thing quite literally possible, perhaps just a hint that this is likely tongue in cheek would have been the more responsible approach.

Or maybe the reporter thinks it literally possible?

Or is simply too ignorant about Ortega to get it?

Does he know so little about Ortega that he could confuse his mentality with Pat Robertson's?
