AOC faults US embargo for Cuba oppression in break with Biden
Yahoo News–Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday faulted the U.S. embargo for Cuban oppression and unrest as she criticized President Joe Biden for upholding the trade restriction.
She called out “gross violations of civil rights” by the regime, though she slammed the United States, particularly Biden, for upholding the decades-old trade ban, which was designed to destabilize the communist government, after the United Nations called on the U.S. to end the embargo for the 29th year.
“We are seeing Cubans rise and protest for their rights like never before,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. “We stand in solidarity with them, and we condemn anti-democratic actions led by President Diaz-Canel. The suppression of the media, speech, and protest are all gross violations of civil rights.”
That look you get when you’re just trying to have a “People’s Revolution” and the people you’re revolting against just want to put your face on T-shirts.
The Tokyo Games motto is “United by Emotion.” This is now truer than ever. Together we have faced this crisis. Together we have fought to overcome it. Together the world’s athletes will compete for glory.
Brian ‘Tater’ Stelter Draws Increasing Fire From Critics Over CNN Show’s Ratings Decline
Ratings Plunge cause Brian ‘Tater’ Stelter to go Incogmeato
MEDIAite–Reliable Sources “has failed to attract one million viewers for 11 straight weeks and averaged only 752,000 on Sunday for its smallest audience of 2021,” wrote Fox News media reporter Brian Flood. Fox boasted that its own weekly media show, MediaBuzz, hosted by Howard Kurtz, averaged 1.1 million viewers in the same timeslot on the same day.
But as Bill Parcells once famously said, you are what your record says you are. And there’s no getting around the fact that CNN’s 2021 numbers have fallen considerably since their January peak. Sooner or later, the network and its media maven will have to recapture that audience — lest his attackers decide he’s no longer worth the trouble.
