Is there a different sort of media bias afoot? The Media Research Center (MRC) is pointing a finger at CNN, claiming the news network does not offer fair, balanced coverage of Cuba.

After analyzing every Cuba-based story that has appeared on CNN since it established a Havana bureau five years ago, the MRC is calling the network a "propaganda tool for Fidel Castro's government" and a "megaphone for a dictator."

It's ridiculous how Carter is pandering to Castro - especially spounting off about the germ warfare program.

He is probably touting his son's cruise line and Coca-Cola's bottling plant intiative too - AND getting a bunch of CNN publicity to boot.

I like how Fox News has been labeling it the "Carter Boondoggle"
