I never tried to paint Castro in any light whatsoever. Metin did that. He disagreed with CNN's depiction of Castro as evil. He was using that in support of his opinion of CNN's newsworthiness (actually lack thereof). I was questioning Metin's claim that Castro is not evil (since he used that as an example). I actually NEVER wrote that he was or was not, did I? Did I ever actually support his assumption of CNN's position? I actually never even saw CNN's report that he is referring to where he claims that CNN insinuates that Castro is ONLY evil by the way. Basically, Metin used that as support for his position but he provided no support of justification behind it. That is what I am asking for. I asked him if he believed that Castro's rule was without problems, and he replied with another question instead of responding. He never responded with anything to support his position. I never took any position myself. I only asked for him to support his since his was used to support another position.

In a valid argument, if he cannot support his position that 1: CNN depicts Castro as totally evil with no merit in direct oppposition to the truth, 2: respond to my question whether or not he sees any problems with Castro's rule, 3: support his position that Castro is not evil to prove is position that CNN is not relaying news but solely opinion, then his position that CNN is untrustworthy as a news source IS NOT SUPPORTED.






>Castro is a dictator - no argument. However, whether he is as bad as the U.S. would have everybody believe is questionable. Yes, Cuba is a fairly poor country, but whether they'd be that badly off without the U.S. sanctions over so many years, or whether it's really all Castro's fault, is an important question. In reality, what so cheesed off the U.S. (especially Strom Thurmond) is that Castro stopped the U.S.'s plundering of the country and it's people. For the U.S., Cuba was a playground from which much was extracted and little, if anything, returned. The Cuban people were treated as though they simply didn't matter - except, of course, for those who were the support network for the U.S., and who prospered by plundering their own countrymen for profit.
