The hottest news in the Caribbean that I can find nowhere on Google

Cuba has agreed to rebuild the entire Haitian health care system from primary level to the top. Now why is that on headlines across the Caribbean but nowhere on M$Greedia.

[malaise]

2. M$Greedia...

is heavy Ameri-centric...I have to catch BBC to see what is going on elsewhere..

[monmouth]

3. The media is so involved with teabaggery and Hannity being called

back to his studio they dismiss it. Also, Cuba, being far advanced in their health care system might make the obstructionists look bad...LOL. This is great news malaise. Perhaps Keith will touch on it.
