Right-wing media continue to repeat false claim that Castro endorsed Clinton and Obama

SUMMARY: CNN's Glenn Beck and Fox
News' Dagen McDowell repeated the false claim that Cuban dictator Fidel
Castro had given an "endorsement" to Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in a Cuban newspaper column. But nowhere in his
column did Castro endorse Clinton or Obama; to the contrary, he attributed to
Clinton and Obama a pro-democratic view that he called an "error,"
and he said of Clinton and Obama, "They are not making politics: they are
playing a game of cards on a Sunday afternoon."
