Fidel Castro, Cuba, castro death watch, havana, habana

Or much better still, in person? Oh, if only.
Cuba’s–and the MSM’s–obsession with the 79-year-old Luis Posada Carriles reached a fever pitch today:
Cuban university students symbolically tried Luis Posada Carriles on Monday, accusing the anti-communist warrior of teaming up with Washington to commit decades of terrorist attacks.
A four-judge panel of University of Havana […]

While the usual cast of leftist useful idiot apologists for Castro hold their rallies and fruitcake fests to protest a judge’s ruling that Luis Posada Carriles–a man who had already been acquitted in Venezuela for what they accuse him of–should be freed, they conveniently ignore Castro’s allowing numerous fugitives from U.S. justice to live in […]

Just when we thought the issue of how Castro manipulates his life expectancy numbers to make Cuba look better than it really is, had been settled…
Along comes some Canuck news outfit parroting the Castro talking points:
Fidel Castro may be ailing, but he’s a living example of something Cubans take pride in - an average life […]

“The height of absurdity.”
For Granma, it’s more than a headline, it’s their entire philosophy.

In honor of World Press Freedom Day, May 3, the Committee to Protect Journalists has published a list called “Backsliders,” of the top 10 countries where press freedom has most deteriorated.
Surprise, surprise, Cuba made the list.
Here are a few choice lines from the article:

To those close to the government, there’s been a […]

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.

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, […]

…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 […]

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. […]
