Thank you charles. I didn't know how to get it on line and even if I did I wouldn't know how to post it here.
Yes, this is the one I meant. Awful, isn't it?

Thank you so much.

Honey can you post or send me a link to the article? I looked but couldn't find it. I'm interested in knowing who the author is. Thanks!

Honey,

That's why it's called propaganda. I can assure you all this is being done through public relations firms here in the U.S. and it's payed by the Cuban government or their collaborators.

In the Philadelphia Inquirer today there was a long article extolling the new freedom Obama is giving Americans to travel to Cuba. It was all there - the picture of happy Cuban girls eating ice cream cones, the stories of music everywhere from the happy Cuban people no matter how rundown the buildings are, the best places to stay and what they will cost tourists. A real travel agent's guide to help the lucky tourists.
It was all there alright, except for the jails, the island prison, the lack of free press, access to internet or tourist stores or hotels for citizens, or impossibility of saying what you want without repercussions.
Another in the series of horrors of reporting on Cuba to be found in a newspaper here.
