“President” Raul Castro blames diabolical U.S. blockade for hunger striker deaths.!
"President Raul Castro said he regretted the man's death but denied he was tortured and blamed problems on the island on Washington's 48-year trade embargo." reports the AP
"Former Chilean dictator Pinochet dies at 91" reported this same AP three years ago.
"Britain has defended its arrest of former Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet...." AP 1998
And on..and on.....and on.....
Fun exercise!....try to find the term "President" Pinochet employed by any of the "news" agencies (that from their Havana bureaus) have elected both Castro brothers as "Presidents!"
HOW MUCH MORE REPUGNANT CAN THESE MOJONES BE?
Chancellor Hitler would have been comfortable with this.
MSM Rules
Left-wing autocrat = President
Right-wing autocrat = Dictator
And don't forget that autocratic, but certainly not tyrannical and a million times more democratic than Castro, Batista, is also always referred to as DICTATOR!
But aside from the absurd and bias use of "President" to describe both fidel and his little brother, what is truly disturbing is how the mainstream media always gives the castro brothers a platform to say whatever they want to say without qualifying anything.
It seems that AP, Reuters, the New York Times and its afiliates, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc...are always there fawning, no practically salivating with pen at hand ready to repeat all of the tyranny's stupid press releases and the dictators ridiculous comments.
I don't think that any other dictator receives so much coverage. Whenever fidel or raul says something, the press is there. Of course, the only thing that fidel and raul ever talk about are essentially three things:
A) Cuba's successes
B) The evil embargo
C) The evil Miami Mafia and US government
No wonder the American people are so brainwashed when it comes to Cuba.
With the mainstream media informing the American people, there's NO NEED TO SELL GRAMMA IN THE USA.
