Not surprising. I recall reading in Bernard Goldberg’s book “Bias” in which he discusses Fidel’s meeting with The Dan back sometime in the 1990s. Dan gave him a personal tour of CBS’ executive offices in New York and got all palsy walsy with him like a long lost brother and gave him an autographed baseball bat. This was one of the more creepier parts of the book, IMHO.

Those Communists are very badly off. Don’t get why the MSN tries to make them look better off than they really are.

Castro broadcasting System. everything is peachy in the workers paradise. Shelves are full and healthcare is plentiful. Compared to Cuba, the USA is poorly run with people dropping dead in the streets due to lack of doctors. Cant find even basic staples here. Long lines for Toilet paper. VIVA CUBA...

“Cuba normally gears up quickly for storms with constant advisories on TV and radio urging people to prepare. The Civil Defense, run by a general and the military, jumps into action to evacuate people and animals from low-lying areas, to move food supplies to higher ground, harvest crops quickly and distribute the monthly food rations to people before the storm hits.”

Oh, these journalists know their trade well! They added words that don’t belong there: “quickly,” “constant,” “jumps into action,” “quickly before the storm hits.”
They have nothing but love and admiration for a communist dictatorship which takes away freedom and suppresses dissent.

If they had been talking about Trump, they would have added the words “sluggish response,” “uncertain leadership,” “inconsistent” and “barely able to meet the needs of a suffering people.”

F*ck the media.

Among the many biases of the MSM is their steadfast refusal to cover Cuba.

As IRMA keeps moving more west than north (in contrast to earlier forecasts that said it would be moving more north than west by now) it is Cuba that is getting hit with the Hurricane Force winds and storm surge.

As for details, nothing from the MSM.

Evacuations, nothing from the MSM.

Shelter news, nothing from the MSM.

It is as if an alien civilization lived ninety miles away from Florida.

Think about it.

It’s a wonder that there aren’t boatloads of US citizens risking their lives on a daily basis to land on Cuba’s golden shores.

In the last week or so, I’ve seen promos for various CBS news shows. Apparently their new slogan is ‘Real News’. I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard that.

Let’s ask those leftist actresses why Hurricane Irma is going through Cuba. Also God’s revenge? Revenge for what, Miss Oscar Nominee? Take your time.

They’re all doing the same thing right now about Venezuela too. And they’re chomping at the bit to try to bail out Kim but he keeps threatening to nuke everybody.

But you were being sarcastic, right, about not knowing why they do it?

And CBS’s lying, commie-hugging Walter Cronkite, too.

Good old Uncle Walter hosting CBS Nightly News, who lied about the Vietnam Tet Offensive (that was succeeding) in support of the commies here, feeding the commie-led, anti-war college minions that created the quagmire that killed so many American young men. My dad liked him, was totally fooled by him, would never have believed a guy like Cronkite could be an anti-American subversive (i.e. progressive).

A young Cuban-American was on Fox & Friends this morning saying that he called a relative in Havana and asked if they would be alright when the hurricane hit Cuba. The relative’s response: “What hurricane?” The weather last night through this morning must have come as a shock to those tourists foolish enough to go to Cuba for some beach time.

... and distribute the monthly food rations to people before the storm hits.”

Did Donald Trump distribute monthly food rations to people in Florida before the storm hit?

Noooooo!

Therefore, Donald Trump hates Florida and the US government is not nearly as competent as the Cuban government!

Yeah, ya moron, it's satire.

Oops. No. No, wait. There's no food rationing in Cuba. Those responsible for that misnformation have been sacked.
