Cuba

On Thursday night, it was curtains for Brian Williams’s 28-year career at NBC and sister network MSNBC. Incredibly, the serial liar remained employed for six years at MSNBC following the revelation that he had embellished and fabricated stories during his time at the Peacock network. With that, NewsBusters decided to take a look back with Williams's 20 worst moments at MSNBC after his…

It was five years ago this week, on November 25, 2016, that Cuba’s Fidel Castro died Rather than focus mostly on how repressive he had been, many outlets could not stop themselves from hailing the murderous dictator. Cheering his work on health care and literacy, they focused less on the killing and the jailing.

One of the more distasteful habits of liberal journalists has always been the tendency to flatter and fawn over brutal dictators. Reporters, who are supposed to speak truth to power, often fail when it comes to charismatic communists. That’s exactly what happened when ABC's Barbara Walters interviewed Fidel Castro almost 19 years ago.

Axios Latino, or Latinxios for short, has put its tone deaf-ness on display by celebrating the murderous Castro dictatorship's literacy brigades as "Hispanic Heritage". 

Are they still protesting in Cuba? I don't know. The Cuban government has shut off the Cuban people's internet. The big demonstrations began four weeks ago, sparked, curiously, by a rap song. The key lyric is: “Freedom! No more Doctrine!” “Doctrine” refers to the “constant cycle of propaganda” from the government, explains Cuban emigre Alian Collazo in my newest video.

Twitter announced that it is teaming up with liberal news and fact-checking sites The Associated Press (AP) and Reuters to censor content by adding what the platform is calling “reliable context” to trending news.

¿Qué tienen en común los rallies de Trump del año pasado con las protestas anticomunistas en Cuba este año? Puede que no mucho, con la excepción de que CNN seguramente las cubrirá como eventos de supercontagio del coronavirus.

El noticiero Directo USA de CNN En Español acaba de pasar dos segmentos sobre el tema de Cuba, y el contraste no podría ser más marcado. El primer segmento trata de encuadrar una participación reducida de manifestantes en Miami como señal de que los opositores al régimen están perdiendo la esperanza. El segundo segmento dedica más de nueve minutos a la divulgación de información falsa y…

CNN En Español’s Directo USA newscast recently spent two segments on the Cuba issue, and the contrast could not be more stark. The first segment tried to frame a reduced turnout of protesters in Miami as a sign that regime opponents are losing hope. The second segment then devoted over nine minutes of uncontested false information and communist propaganda. 

What did last year’s Trump rallies have in common with this year’s anti-communist protests in Cuba? Not much, perhaps, except that they are certain to be covered by CNN as coronavirus superspreader events.

Some of the largest anti-Communist protests in Cuban history are currently occurring 90 miles south of the United States because six decades of Marxism and its fruits have turned the island nation into a hellhole. People need to start seeing it for what it is. Everyday Americans should see how regimes built on Marxism end up trampling on and killing any concept of human rights.…

Every so often the media has brief moments of honesty worth noting. On Sunday’s Inside Politics on CNN, the liberal panel of journalists worried about the far-left’s control on the Democrat party “damaging” the Biden administration, with one panelist even noting that many Democrats supported Cuba’s socialist regime. 

The popular uprising against Cuba’s totalitarian communist dictatorship has been a source of bad media takes and dopey whataboutism, but Telemundo’s morning anchor raced to the top of the fetid pile with his use of the SOS Cuba protests as an instrument with which to bash Republicans over Texas’ election security legislation.

Three days after first asking her if the administration would condemn communism and the far-left ideology’s gruesome affect on life inside Cuba, Fox News’s Peter Doocy finally got White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki to condemn on Thursday both communism and demand the regime grant “freedom” to the Cuban people.
