Faulting Fox News and the American people, on the other hand, now that's a different story.

No review of the reactions of leftists and the establishment press (but I repeat myself) to the death of Fidel Castro would be complete without seeing what the wonderful, caring people at Black Lives Matter wrote after the Cuban dictator died.

AP, as Castro's Ashes Interred: A 'Near-Religious Farewell'
