Special Report: "Fidel Castro's Media Flatterers"
In the wake of news today that an ailing Fidel Castro will resign
after nearly five decades as Cuba's communist dictator, the MRC has
moved to our home page a Special Report with many examples of the
media's promotional coverage over the years.
In his 49 years as dictator, Fidel Castro never allowed free
elections and dealt brutally with Cubans who dared oppose him --
execution, imprisonment or exile. Yet liberals in the U.S. media
remained enchanted with Castro and his communist revolution, treating
the dictator more as a charming celebrity than an oppressive tyrant.
The Media Research Center has compiled some of the choicest examples
of the liberal media's infatuation with Castro from the last 20
years, many accompanied by video and audio clips.
For "Fidel's Flatterers: The U.S. Media's Decades of Cheering
Castro's Communism," compiled last year by the MRC's Rich Noyes, go

The sub-headings you'll find:
# Field Trips to Fidel's Island "Paradise"
# CNN's Havana Bureau: "Megaphone for a Dictator"
# Elian Gonzalez, Back to the "Peaceable" Paradise
# Touting Fidel and Cuba's Communist Revolution
