Fox News mocked for blurring pro-government slogans in footage of Havana rally shown alongside fiery Ted Cruz tirade

As Ted Cruz praised the bravery of anti-government protesters in Cuba on Fox News on Tuesday, little did he know that the channel was showing footage from a pro-government rally in Havana alongside his remarks.

Some eagle-eyed viewers caught the inconsistency. The same footage – but with the slogans clearly visible – can be seen, for example, in a Deutsche Welle report on the situation in Cuba. Demonstrators declaring that “the streets belong to the revolutionaries” are probably not the kind of Cuban protesters that Senator Cruz had in mind.

    Yes, it actually happened… and it wasn’t even a protest, it was a citizen organized political rally in support of the government and Miguel came out to support them, talk to the citizens, and give a small speech 💀

    Western Media really just put in videos of Cubans protesting in support of the government, and then framed them as “Freedom loving protesters”.

    I can’t find the exact video at the moment, but here is a breakdown of the “protests” by a Pro-Cuban analyst/professor, and they describe Miguel visiting and speaking to Cuban people on the streets on the morning of the 11th. The same trip that the media used clips of to show an “Anti-Cuban Protester”. In the breakdown and analysis, you can also literally smell the attempted CIA colour revolution, it’s laughable how awful they did.
