On the Fact that Even Though it's Been Discredited Every Which Way Conceivable, the New York Times and Leftist Dolts Like Bob Beckel Continue to Parrot the Bald-Faced Lie that the Batista Government Slaughtered 20,000 Cubans

Yeah, this one's a massive whopper. a) The Magazine that had published the original story ("Bohemia") just several months later had to admit that the total deaths ON BOTH SIDES of the war was less than 900 and b) the guy who had originally reported on the 20,000 figure ultimately confessed that he had simply made the number up. I mean, I understand that the leftist media loves to beat up on people who they consider to be "right-wing" dictators (and Batista wasn't even a right-winger) and all but this particular claim is is so ludicrous that we really need to put an end to it immediately. 20,000 murders, my ass.........................................................................................................P.S. My source for this is Venezuelan journalist, Oscar Yanes, who, after Mr. Quevedo (who ultimately blew his brains out in a fit of guilt) had to flee from Cuba, stated taking an interest in his saga.
