The New York Times is really covering themselves in glory lately covering up for the worst people and the worst governments. Now, they are apparently here to shame Latin American countries who believe the Cuban people deserve more than the government they have now.

It uses the emotionally loaded term "abandonment" to lament the supposed betrayal, like a family turning its back on a troubled relative or a beleaguered symbol of resistance cruelly forsaken.

Probably should be highlighting the decades of political repression, economic mismanagement, mass emigration driven by hardship, human rights abuses, and Cuba's role in bolstering other regimes such as Venezuela's instead of cherry picking "free healthcare" pic.twitter.com/8Jgx06s8NW

They could take a moment to talk about political prisoners, lack of freedom or starving citizens, but they chose to focus on Latin American countries 'abandoning' the poor Communist leadership.

What a day that will be!
The NYT's 'abandonment' framing does give Cuba a humanizing, sympathetic victim status.

The Cuban and the various teetering Communist regimes are always the oppressed in the eyes of the dreamy Western useful academic idiots. They're the "freedom fighters" against evil empires like USA.

It might be the straw the breaks the insane camel's back.
As a Hispanic, it boggles me that people actually think the majority of us support the Cuban regime. Most Hispanics have lived through leftist regimes and know the nightmares that they bring. True disappearances, genocidal attacks, and more. Only the rich and idiots would dare to…
