Hail That Intrepid “Watchdog” media of ours!

by

“Cut out the middleman” Mc Clatchy must be saying in these financially cramped days.

‘We’ll start running the Castro Propaganda Ministry’s hand-outs exactly as we get them, rather than pretend to “report” on them as we used too.

Would any reader guess that the agency described below is a KGB/STASI trained terror force that tortured and killed at a rate higher than Stalin’s NKVD?–That killed more Cubans in it’s first three years in power than Hitler’s Gestapo killed Germans in its first six?

You tell me:

Here’s the Miami Herald version

Here’s the Castro Propaganda Ministry version: http://www.cubanews.ain.cu/2009/2603anive_seguridadestado.htm

Unreal.

  2. I simply can’t believe this. Even for the Herald. The interesting thing is that when you click on the herald.com link the directory the article is in says AP but it’s obviously not an AP story. I sent an email to the executive editor.

  3. This is not surprising. I live in NYC and for years I’ve been looking at the NY Times and their at times almost verbatim translations of Cuba’s official press releases published in Gramma. For instance, back in 1994 when that tugboat was sunk and 41 men, women and children were killed, the NYT’s repeated the official Cuban version that the state security thugs that killed them were trying to save them and that they [the victims] where the ones who were attacking and hitting the Cuban coast guard not the other way around. It was this bellicose act on the part of the would-be exiles and the overcrowding of the boat that eventually lead to the sinking and the drowning of the victims whom were portrayed as villains.

  4. Looks like the Herald got your e-mail, Henry. Now the article is properly accredited to ACN. Not much of an improvement, though. They’re still publishing the regime’s propaganda word for word; the only difference is they are doing it openly.

  5. Alberto,

    It said ACN before but look at the URL of the article. The article file is in a directory entitled “AP” Also look at the title bar of your browser when your browsing the article. It says:

    Raul Castro presided over State Security anniversary – Cuba AP – MiamiHerald.com
