CBS News and Castro's Cuba
Posted by Bill A translator hired by CBS News alleges that Dan Rather and 60 Minutes distorted and softballed an interview with Elian Gonzalez's father. Color me surprised. And more from babalu blog, where Val deconstructs a Columbia Journalism Review critique of Cuban bloggers: Mr. Gillette's bolded question above clearly depicts the problem with the coverage of the Elian case, as well as most reportage on Cuba: you only get one side of the story from the MSM, and handled with kid gloves, I might add. As a Cuban-American, I know what Im talking about when I write about Cuba. I've lived it. My family and friends have lived it. We all know what we are dealing with when it comes to fidel castro and his regime. But the MSM, so in love with fidel castro from the very beginning, choses to ignore the obvious atrocities commited by his regime, and choses to relegate the Cuban-American community - who in one household know more about fidel castro and Cuba than the whole lot of the MSM put together - to a bunch of extreme anti-castro hard liners.

When people start risking their lives in rafts going to the Cuban "paradise" then I will listen to their arguments. Posted by: Paul Phillips at October 7, 2005 03:46 PM People don't use rafts to go to Cuba, because they don't need to. They can simply book a flight on a commercial airliner. Cubans take rafts to leave Cuba, because, unlike the tourists that visit there, they can't simply book a flight on a commercial airliner out of Cuba. They are, effectively, locked in one big island prison. Posted by: Anonymous at October 10, 2005 11:29 PM viagra . Posted by: viagra viagra at November 14, 2006 12:41 AM viagra .
