Cuba - BBC clones Castro

It's not just Photoshop that uses a clone tool, the BBC uses one in its reporting too.

Take this line which shows up regularly in the BBC's reporting on Castro.

He is one of the world's longest-ruling leaders, and has outlasted nine US presidents.

You see? Cubans love him so much they keep him in office longer than American's keep their presidents in office. The BBC fail to mention that Castro is a dictator and they tend to stay in power for life. While under America's democratic system, a president can only serve for 8 years.

The BBC clones the same line here, here, here, here, here, here, well you get the idea.

Here's the caption for picture number 11 in this series.

But Fidel Castro retained enough public support to become the world's longest-serving leader.

Funny how dictators manage to do that.
