It wasn't true when you broke it last week and it is still not true. Do you take reporting tips from Matt Drudge?
C says – reply to this

Not true yet. I am in Miami and have spoken to several govt officials and none have heard anything official.
katsu says – reply to this

311

a beautiful country filled with beautful people. i've been there a few times and loved it. i pray that the US will not interfere with the country. YES!, the people of Cuba deserve to have the freedom to leave their country if they wish. It just would be a shame to see Cuba become "Americanize".

Mariela says – reply to this

313

If it wasn't true, then why are they barrcading the streets. No one cares about Noriega that much, or at all.

I think it's true. The other media outlets are prob. just waiting for 'offical confirmation'.

Even if it was true, they couldn't report it until after 6:00 because there would be rush hour mayhem.

@4pm eastern, CNN announced, from Miami, that Manuel Noriega will be extradited to France for trial.

#250- he made you look stupid in front of your coworkers? ha! maybe you shouldn't take what gossip bloggers say as being real and turn around and report it yourself. especially when they are reporting on something that should be left to the real news. i say it's your own fault. better luck next time!

tony says – reply to this

347

4:30 PM, and the local stations in Miami (including the spanish ones) are running their regular programming. Channel 7's 4PM news is talking about Lohan and Richie. So either the media is in kahootz with the police to cover this up or you're source is full of shit.

ok, I'm from Miami…the I've heard a few things and my office is going crazy saying that we are all going to calle 8 tonight.

This is what I've been told…the hialeah police department has been called for crowd control.

A co-worker spoke w/ a relative in cuba and was told that schools back in cuba were closed today…which is a bit odd.

I really don't know whats going on….everyone here is anxiously waiting

While Local 10 doesn't usually report on rumors, the magnitude of how far reaching this was couldn't be ignored.

What may start as a whisper, quickly grows into a chorus of thousands.

The rumors have circulated for years. Usually every couple of months they'd start, but in the past week, the rumors have been in overdrive.

Local 10 called its contacts at the White House. Spokespeople there said they were aware of "no change in Cuba." A spokesperson of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said "it's all rumor and that Castro is fine."

An ABC news source in Cuba said all is quiet in Havana and as far as he knows, no announcement is pending.

In fact, the president of the Cuban National Assembly Ricardo Alarcon is reported to be on the beach in Varadero and would presumably be in Havana if a major announcement was imminent.

Local 10's assignment desk also contacted police departments , which said they are monitoring the situation and taking it very seriously. Miami police said they are in contact with the FBI "hourly."

Perez. Who the hell is your source?? He/She has been wrong everytime you post this.. Granted, if you post it everyday, he/she will be right at least once when he actually does die. I still cant understand why we dont kiss and make up with Cuba. Get over it already.. Geesh. I sure could go for a good cuban once in awhile. A cigar too I guess. he he

estela says – reply to this

380

Perez, your aunt's cousin's husband in Hialeah is NOT a credible news source when it comes to Castro's health. Los viejos siempre estan revueltos y Fidel sigue jodiendo. You are really going to damage your credibility trying to scoop everyone on Castro. You lived in Miami long enough to know que los cubanos siempre hablamos mierda.

Since the whole shebang was happening in Miami, that is most likely all of the press and buzz. Way to go Perez!

397

I used to respect your reporting on celebs. But now I see when you write about real news, you're COMPLETELY off. Therefore, while I actually believed most of your stories on CELEBS, I now know they're nothing more than speculation that you try to pass of as truth. This should really hurt your cred. From fan to hater of Perez in 30 seconds…you truly are f'in retarded.
