Alex, Natalie Solent also discusses dubious BBC coverage of Castro in a great post over at Biased BBC. The BBC web site has on multiple occasions written of Cuba's votes as if they were real, free and fair elections, and joined many other outlets in stupidly hailing Castro's longevity in office. As Solent notes:
I am a little tired of hearing him lauded for "outlasting" nine American presidents as if he were a heavyweight champion beating off challengers. Go Fidel! Your staying power really showed up those feeble Americans, with their wimpy term limits and free elections.
Thanks to Tony Sharp for the link.
