Cuba

Capitalism and racism go together? I hear it all the time. “Racism is intricately linked to capitalism,” says famous Marxist Angela Davis. “It’s a mistake to assume that we can combat racism by leaving capitalism in place.” “Anti-racist” activist Ibram X. Kendi says, “In order to truly be anti-racist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist.” This is just silly.

24 years ago, gun-toting immigration officers snatched six-year-old Elian Gonzalez from his Miami home, in preparation to send him back to Cuba. Throughout the five-month saga, liberal journalists insisted there was nothing superior about living in the United States and slammed Florida's anti-communist Cuban community as a “banana republic.”

Nine years ago this week, President Barack Obama chose to establish formal relations with the Communist dictatorship in Cuba. Instead of worrying that Obama was handing a much-needed and undeserved lifeline to the decades-long Castro dictatorship, the liberal media applauded the “historic” decision.

For her Thursday show on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell highlighted rare joint anti-drug trafficking operations between the United States and Cuba and invited Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio Dominguez on to discuss. The long sound delay was not the worst of the segment as after the part of the initial part of the discussion concluded, Mitchell opened up the forum for the communist…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid had some gloomy and hysterical predictions for what the future holds if America elects “toy-sized Mussolini Ron DeSantis” in 2024 on Tuesday’s installment of The ReidOut. As Reid tells it if DeSantis were to become president, America would turn into “China, Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, or Iran.”

With Title 42 set to expire, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell welcomed on two former Obama officials to discuss the border crisis on her Thursday show. One of those officials was former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes who claimed that one reason the border crisis is so bad is because the U.S. is just too mean to the communist and socialist dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela.

'Murica!

After months of ignoring the problem and demonstrably false claims by his Homeland Security secretary that the southern border is “secure,” President Biden is finally visiting the area this week as part of a trip to Mexico. Last week, the administration announced it would immediately begin turning away Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Why are laws…

Six years ago today, November 26, 2016, news broke of the death of Fidel Castro, the former communist dictator of Cuba. His death was an opportunity for journalists to salute the prison state’s advances in health care, and to mindlessly babble about how Cubans supposedly preferred donkey carts to modern automobiles.

One of the more distasteful habits of liberal journalists has always been the tendency to flatter and fawn over brutal dictators. Reporters, who are supposed to speak truth to power, often fail when it comes to charismatic communists. That’s exactly what happened when ABC's Barbara Walters interviewed Fidel Castro almost 19 years ago.

Much of the network newscasts are admirably exposing the horrors and war crimes perpetrated by ex-KGB agent Vladimir Putin. But we should never forget their long history of fawning over communist thug dictators. It was 33 years ago this week that World News Tonight gushed over the brutal Fidel Castro for “delivering the most to those who had the least.” Then-anchor Peter Jennings portrayed the…

President Biden’s speech from Warsaw Saturday night, reminded me of two previous presidents who delivered speeches confronting the autocracy that was then the Soviet Union and is now Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, a man Biden has rightly called a war criminal. On June 26, 1963, Kennedy spoke before the Berlin Wall which the Soviets had erected to stem the flow of Berliners out of the communist…

Twitter, Facebook and YouTube allow seven dictators, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, unfettered access to post on their platforms, influencing approximately 50 million followers as of March 28. Meanwhile, former leader of the free world President Donald Trump is still banned.

On Thursday night, it was curtains for Brian Williams’s 28-year career at NBC and sister network MSNBC. Incredibly, the serial liar remained employed for six years at MSNBC following the revelation that he had embellished and fabricated stories during his time at the Peacock network. With that, NewsBusters decided to take a look back with Williams's 20 worst moments at MSNBC after his scandal…
