CNN Doubles-Down on Fake News with a Fake Film about Elian Gonzalez

actually, I was kind of glad they made that docu-lie. We can point to it when CNN complains next that families are being separated by deportation. Look CNN! The deportees are going back to their own relatives and their own president in their own country, isn’t that nice? Isn’t that very Elian? Deportations are humanitarian, right CNN?

Humberto Fontova is great on Cuba.

I had a long conversation with a Cuban Dr. in Haiti in about 2005. He told me lurid stories, one was about Elian Gonzalez who was brought into the clinic where he worked with two broken legs and severe cuts and bruises. The boy was devastated that he had been returned to Cuba and hated his vicious father, who had beaten him.
Obviously hearsay but it raises questions the MSM has never raised.

The “Communist News Network” never sleeps as they, like all liberal infested news outlets, seek to “educate” we Americans. I’m not buying any of their fake news crap, EVER!

[Uncle Sam 911]

Who can ever forget the photo of that brave America gestapo agent with his gun in the face of a small boy being ripped out of the arms of his Miami family to be returned to slavery. I hope that agent never closes his eyes that he doesnt see that screaming child.

The image that helped beat Gore in 2000.

[Caipirabob]

We lost the boy, the battle and many good FReepers who I miss on this forum over this disaster.

The driver had his head covered. His face should be all over Trump’s twitter act.

[Gay State Conservative]

"This is the moment I knew I'd be safe in Uncle Fidel's loving embrace" says Elian today.

[exDemMom]

And poor little Elian was made into a communist tool: sullen, angry, resentful, hopeless. He was robbed of the normal life his mother died to give him because we had a psychopath president who loves dictators.

I remember the way everything was carefully staged around Elian’s father. He was never out of sight of his handlers. The look on his face was bleak—he did not want to be in that situation.

An LA journolist threw a bottle at a police officer in Little Havana and tried to start a riot she could cover for the Times.

I am still sickened by the sad Elian saga.
I came to America, legally, when I was 5 and have been forever grateful.
I know Reagan would have saved Elian from Fidel’s clutches.
Bill Clinton and Janet Reno were as despotic as Fidel.

I read that Obama reversed the “dry land” policy for Cuban immigrants. Has that been “re-reversed” by Trump?

I couldn’t believe the idiocy of some so-called FReepers who defended returning this child to a gulag to be used as propaganda for Papa Fidel, who was charged under the new Cuban Constitution with being the OWNER of all children born in Cuba (and for that matter, all adults). Even when overwhelming evidence of this fact was presented, they still defended this horrible miscarriage of justice. Every one of them deserved to be ZOT’ted.

[Does so]

FTA:

"On the April 6th 2000 edition of the historic Fake News vehicle 60 Minutes"

OK, it didn't copy, but noticed that "April 6th" got a Dan Rather "treatment". :)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Singlemost evil thing the Clinton regime did, even more so than Waco. At least Reno had the common courtesy to murder those children.

[NFHale]

That picture of the Fedthug with the SMG pointed at the kid and uncle (?) is an enduring image of the Clinton administration.

And to think that the Witch almost became President...

(but... SHE LOST..........BWAHAHAHAHAH)

[The_Media_never_lie]

Here's what America didn't see: "Juan Miguel Gonzalez was surrounded by Castro security agents the entire time he was in the studio with Rather." This is an eye-witness account from Pedro Porro, who served as Dan Rather's translator during the famous 60 Minutes interview. Dan Rather would ask the question in English into Porro's earpiece whereupon Porro would translate it into Spanish for Elian's heavily-guarded father.

This should have been a prominent part of the story. If not, the "documentary" was an obvious propaganda piece.

[jmaroneps37]

Maybe FNN can give Elian a show “The Atheist Prospective” their numbers couldn’t get worse and they’d have a clear field in recruiting in the atheist community.
