as if the people are given a choice.
The ABC report I just heard on the radio was worse than that.
To shouts of "Hasta la vista , baby!" in the background the reporter intones, "These are the die-hard, hardcore, anti-Castro types here in Miami... They aren't representative of the Cuban people at large." ...or something like that.
He seemed to be trying to dispel the notion that anyone (with good sense) could be celebrating the death of the great leader.(sarcasm on)
