What we leaned today: Killing political dissidents, interning gays, & being a dictator for 50 years is fine, so long as you’re left wing. — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) November 26, 2016

Do you have any doubts about how hard-left and corrupt the media has become? Then read on.

The left and some in the so-called mainstream media are celebrating Fidel Castro, the murderer of thousands. How sickening they’ve become. They treat a bona fide terrorist like a quasi-hero, but Trump wants to cut taxes and they call him a terrorist.

Outside of Fox, the media is avoiding having a lot of discussion about the Cubans celebrating in Little Havana. CBS qualified a video of them celebrating his death by minimizing the number of people rejoicing in the streets and by infusing compliments into the reports.

Photos of the celebrations with placards and dummies lauding Trump are being ignored.

CNN finally posted some footage of the happy Cubans though they mentioned he impacted them for “better or worse” as if there could possibly have been a “better”.

The left is fawning over this monster who killed gays and dissidents and put them in remedial camps. They’re rewriting history and calling him a social justice warrior.

The AP talks of the “revolutionary” who “defied the US”. The US was trying to protect the region and Cuba from this murderous dictator.

Fidel Castro famously said in 1959, “Without the help of The New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been.”

The NY Times continues to whitewash Castro’s crimes and you can read about that in a story we posted earlier.

Reporters without borders says Cuba is the most repressive country in the Western Hemisphere but that message apparently didn’t get to the BBC.

The BBC is reporting Castro’s death more favourably than Thatcher’s with no mention of thousands summarily executed after the revolution.

American journalist Jon Lee Anderson says that it does not matter how many people hated him because “the majority saw in him a Cuban prototype, a man who possessed superlative qualities that they admired”.

“Although with some reticence, within Cuba even his adversaries used to show admiration for the man who ruled their lives for so many years,” Anderson continued.”Most recognized him as the prototype of the Cuban, a man who possessed superlative quantities of qualities that he admired.”

As if it couldn’t get any more sickening, the author then exclaimed, “Cubanism,” like most nationalism, is a bag in which many concepts fit, but it essentially has to do with being witty, cunning and brave, qualities of which Castro was a living example.”

“In a country where “to live from the story” is a maxim, Fidel Castro was the storyteller par excellence, the most astute of all.”

Fidel released more than 100,000 of his most violent and disturbed criminals and put them in boats headed for the US where they were given safe haven. Crime soared wherever they settled in Florida and elsewhere. The BBC commented on that chicanery: “Once again, Fidel had fooled his enemies through a master move.”

A MASTER MOVE!?!

Canada’s Justin Trudeau recognized Castro’s tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el Comandante”.

Jeremy Corbin called Castro “a champion of social justice.“

Castro sent black people and gays to re-education camps so apparently that’s okay as long as the left does it..

Look at this next moronic statement – societal equality? Seriously?

Jill Stein who received less than 1% of the vote as the Green Party candidate and who is a communist, tweeted:

Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente! — Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

This is shameful

While world leaders whitewash Fidel Castro’s legacy, @StateDept keeps score on continuing Cuban human rights abuses https://t.co/YQHWqjE5HF pic.twitter.com/CXLDGuTfLj — Dudley Snyder (@DudleyNYC) November 26, 2016

There’s more but what’s the point of reporting it. Suffice it to say that this is what parades as mainstream journalism.

Castro’s legacy is one of abject poverty, abuse of political opponents and gays, loss of all freedom, imprisonment, torture, and murder of all opponents, pacts with other terror nations – Cuba is a nation that sponsors terrorism – that is his legacy.

Oh well, at least Fidel Castro, as vicious as he was, never insulted Rosie O’Donnell. Now, that would have been terrible.
