CBS News: Rubio calls on Cubans seeking "positive change" to work with CIA: "Now is the time"
Grade C (70/100). CBS quotes Rubio's post and the CIA's repost, Trump's Fort Myers remarks about warships off Cuba, recent sanctions and the Cuban foreign minister's reply
C: Uses loaded words and uses an unnamed source or unsourced number.
- Uses loaded words (minus 12 points): 'the latest ploy in the growing efforts from the Trump administration' (loaded word in its own voice)
- Relies on an unnamed source or a number with no source (minus 18 points): 'A strict U.S. embargo and sanctions ... have led to prices of basic goods skyrocketing and decreased access to medical care' (the causal claim is not attributed to anyone)
