Follow up on your excellent observation:

I explored the CNN website carefully to find NOTHING about the Reign of Terror currntly underway in Cuba, not even international outrage.

I DID find a piece about how nice street thug Hugo Chavez is to his neighbor Columbia. And an angry piece about how the US is holding "teenagers" at Gitmo (a couple of 19 y.o al Queda terrorists).

CNN is the mouthpiece for every murdering dictator on the face of the earth.

Thanks for checking friendly. Your search confirmed what I suspected.

"CNN and Castro have an understanding.

Arrested Cuban Dissidents Feel Betrayed by CNN. The oppositionists are desperate for their activities, and their very existence, to be known. They are certainly unafraid to challenge the regime; but they would naturally like some reward for their courage.

There is no doubt that CNN filmed the protest; a network spokeswoman confirms as much. But, for reasons unknown, the network chose not to air the film, or to report on the matter at all. There was, however, a report from Cuba on CNN that day: It was about the return of Elian Gonzalez to Cuban society, where "he is a typical, happy-go-lucky schoolboy."

Many of the Cubans who participated in the November 23 protest were later rounded up at a religious gathering. They were beaten and jailed."
