Appearing on Fox News's Hannity Thursday night, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell condemned the network news for its lack of coverage of the brutal oppression of Fidel Castro's communist regime in the wake of President Obama reopening diplomatic relations with Cuba: "[Castro] has been a mythological figure to the left-wing press since the 1950s. They – for 40 years they've chosen to ignore the repressive nature of this Stalinist regime that has done so much to try to harm America."
Between Wednesday's evening newscasts and Thursday's morning shows, CBS, NBC, and ABC devoted 55 minutes of coverage to President Obama reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba. However, only 4 minutes of that air time made any mention of the human rights abuses and oppression in the totalitarian Communist state.
