There was a time when the MSM sometimes did their job vis á vis Cuba.  To all those who want to end the embargo and normalize relations with Cuba, and to all those taking cheap shots at the Cuban exile community because some exercised their free speech rights and complained because they were  offended that lackeys [...]

While reporting on Cuba has usually been misleading and favorable to the regime, ignoring easily obtainable, publicly known facts reaches a new level of sloppy reporting. Either that or these reporters’ loyalties unabashedly lie with the regime.

Reading all the lies disseminated by the MSM, politicians, and Castro apologists in regards to Cuba's reality day-in and day-out can be frustrating.
