CNN is an international embarrassment - seriously. It's all propaganda all of the time.
What did they have against carrying Castro's welcome - I mean shit they carry Trump 24/7 without interruptions.

wanting to return to the church! He was asked if he meant this and he said that he's serious about it.

If you look at Patrick Oppman's work as a correspondent there you'd see that they treat Cuba as a travel story more than a serious subject.

I wish I could find a channel carrying the event without all this bullshit propaganda. This is disgusting.

I love seeing the streets from all angles and what a great welcome considering most believe more in Chango than Jesus.

during the openning ceremonies at the Lillehammer '94 Olympics. A group of skiers in folk dress kicked of their skis and began folk dancing in the middle of the field. The commentator goes "Hey! That's a lot like our American square dancing!"

the favorite in a speed skating event had just made the finals with a world record qualifying heat. The American announcer was impressed with her performance, but then added, "She may not be the most beautiful out their on the ice, but she'll certainly be hard to beat."

Let alone that this was a speed skating event (no make up and baubles to adorn a flirtatious performance) and the athlete was grimacing to catch her breath, but WTF!

I wanted to kick the twerp in the ass.
