Cuba: putting out the message

once you start reading between the lines of news stories, it's no longer possible not to see the spin...
High-ranking Cuban officials worked hard Monday to put out the message that Cuba was stable after the transfer of power from Fidel Castro to his younger brother last week.

if bush had undergone emergency surgery and the reins of government had been handed over to cheney for the interim, you can bet your sweet ass that you wouldn't see a story lead-in saying, "U.S. officials worked hard to put out the message that America was stable..." nosirreee... not bloody likely...
