Who gives a rat’s patootie?

Castro Uncertain for May Day Parade
Like I said, who gives a rat’s patootie? Besides, of course, the MSM and useful leftist idiots worldwide.

Anti-Castro news makes MSM?!?!

Holy cow, the Apocalypse must be coming soon! I found an article about an anti-Castro journalist winning a Spanish journalism award on both the Miami Herald’s and ABC News’ respective websites:
Cuban dissident writer Raul Rivero has won a prestigious Spanish journalism award for his work as a journalist reporting on his native country, [...]

We’ve been saying it all along…

…and only now does the MSM begin to see.
Cuban exiles and Cuban-Americans have, for the last 40-plus years, saying that until Castro is gone, Cuba will not be free. Today, the Los Angeles Times appears to be saying as much in a piece titled “Hold the reforms — Castro is back:”
After [...]

He’s one super-duper paratrooper

Former paratrooper Edel R. Fernandez plans to make a parachute jump this morning to commemorate the Bay of Pigs invasion, reports Florida Today:
Fernandez was a paratrooper with the 2506 Brigade during the April 17, 1961 invasion. He was kept as a political prisoner for almost two years.

A close look at recent stories about Cuba’s life expectancy

La Nueva Cuba has an excellent piece on the recent fawning news articles about Cuba’s impressive-sounding life expectancy, or, as they put it, “Cuba’s Long Lie Expectancy.”
It seems the MSM was quick to jump on any news that makes Castro’s dictatorship look good, especially if it makes the U.S. look bad by comparison. [...]

But, but, but…

Castro did away with the whole “Cuba was America’s brothel” thing, didn’t he?
Well, of course he did! Why, instead of being America’s brothel, Cuba is now Europe’s brothel!
Foreigners have come to Cuba for years seeking escorts for nights out and sex in exchange for gifts or cash to help the family. Cubans [...]

Still more news about Cuba ignored by the MSM

On Yahoo! News, from the Christian Science Monitor:
On Friday, a hospitalized Fidel Castro met with a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo, Wu Guanzheng. It may be no coincidence that Mr. Wu’s specialty is Communist Party discipline.
No coincidence? Ya think?
But there’s more:
Meanwhile, Cuba’s rickety economy is beset by continuing problems. This year’s [...]

More news about Cuba ignored by the MSM

I suppose when international leaders speak out AGAINST Castro, it’s not important enough to be covered widely. From the České noviny, the only place I could find this story:
Former Czech president Vaclav Havel called for greater international solidarity for the benefit of freedom and human rights in Cuba, at the start of a two-day [...]

You won’t read this in the MSM

If Castro farts or Cuba issues some ridiculous statement, it gets picked up all over the MSM. Meanwhile, this is being ignored:
The United States has praised a statement from representatives of the Cuban opposition movement calling for peaceful democratic change in Cuba.
In its statement, released April 16 in Spanish, members of most of Cuba’s [...]
