No doubt, I put down the cable news pipe years ago and my stress levels are better for it. Even Fox has some decently-written articles (though their site tends to hide certain stories way down the page
Cable "news" is ALL entertainment. It has the same goals as any other shows on TV: to make money from ads, which means keeping viewers tuned in. Everything is always "breaking news" and urgent with eagles and flags and fancy colors probably chosen because focus groups showed they'd stay tuned in longer ;-) News is a byproduct, if you are lucky.
Fox just takes crappy non-news and pushes it into the propaganda realm. CNN and the rest of them would happily run a story (with pics and vid!) of Bernie Sanders protesting nude on Wall Street--in other words, they are equal-opportunity tabloids--while Fox goes the extra mile to cover up anything negative for their team.
As far as Cuba goes--who cares. Just another country, if they want to protest big whoop.

We stand with the Cuban people apart from selling them food or supplies they might need, we kind of stand by them in a theoretical sense rather than a material one. Hopefully our theoretical support will fill their bellies.Biden did make a statement supporting the people of Cuba
Biden: ‘We stand with the Cuban people’ amid historic protests
Thousands of protesters rallied across the island over the weekend against food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus pandemic.
President Joe Biden on Monday expressed solidarity with protesters in Cuba, where thousands of people rallied against food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus pandemic over the weekend.
“We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
“The Cuban people are bravely asserting fundamental and universal rights,” he continued. “Those rights, including the right of peaceful protest and the right to freely determine their own future, must be respected. The United States calls on the Cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enriching themselves.”
The show of support from the American president comes after masses of protesters marched on the Malecon promenade in the capital city of Havana on Sunday, as well as elsewhere across the island.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted on Monday that the protests were “an act of great courage,” adding: “I support the Cuban people in their pursuit of liberty and condemn any violence or targeting of those exercising their rights.”
