AllSides Media Bias Rating: Mixed
This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:
THE QUICK FACTS
- Sen. Bernie Sanders stirred up controversy with comments he made during a "60 Minutes" interview this week about authoritarian Fidel Castro's Cuba, saying "it's unfair to simply say everything [about the Cuban Revolution] is bad."
- He specifically praised Castro's literacy program, saying "When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"
- During the most recent Democratic debate, Sen. Sanders was criticized by other Democratic presidential candidates for his comments. Was the criticism justified?
