What If They Had A Coup and No One Noticed

Christopher Hitchens believes that Cuba has undergone a military coup, but no one seems very curious about it.

If there had been a military coup in any other Latin American or Caribbean country, even a fairly small or obscure one, I think it safe to say that it would have made the front page of the newspapers. But the military coup in Cuba—a nation linked to ours in many vital and historic ways—has not been reported at all.
The MSM motto: If it's not in the script, then it doesn't exist.
