Oct 23 ยท Rubio urges Cubans seeking change to work with the CIA, saying 'now is the time'
NewsNation: Marco Rubio offers Cubans CIA partnership opportunity: "Now is the time"
Grade F (58/100). NewsNation quotes Rubio's post and Trump's rally remarks, notes the CIA's 2023 Russia outreach, and recaps the year's Cuba threats and the oil blockade
F: Mixes in the reporter's opinion and leaves out key context.
- Adds the reporter's own opinion or claims as fact (minus 24 points): 'The president's rhetoric on Cuba has escalated throughout the year' and 'only for the U.S. to back off before the deadline' (the outlet's own analysis)
- Leaves out something important (minus 18 points): no response from the Cuban government is included; the L and R pieces quote Cuban officials
