Cuban Weather Propaganda

If you think it appears that all of the news sources found below are using the same writer you'd be correct. All of the identical cut and paste stories come from the Cuban government and no one else. They make sure to state that the tourists areas were not affected nor the mines. Plus the happy youth were picking coffee beans for the fatherland. How quaint? While countries having a free press right next door admit death and destruction but all's well in Cuba. Right!!!

The government controls the release of all information in Cuba even the weather reports. If they lie about the weather what about the starving political prisoners and the missing free health care?

These "news" providers should do their job and quit being the shills for the Cuban government. Oh by the way - the tourists facilities and hotels were wrecked real good! Have a nice vacation.
