It's almost as galling as Algore's revisionist thinking on why he lost (And he did lose!!!) the state of Florida during the 2000 presidential election.
It was distressing but not surprising, since the mainstream media political leanings are leftist, thus agreeing with every socialist or communist tyrant around the world, in particular their hero Fidel whom the Hollywood elite describes as a warm, bright, and moral man who is very concerned about his country and his people. Hollywood, the mainstream media, and the Liberals aren't concerned about 40 plus years of Castro's bloody repression and oppression.
I guess we can't fault them completely since Universities have become a cesspool of leftist thinking where the majority of students are indoctrinated by the festering leftist propaganda being propagated on every campus.
