Cuba Experts mum on Cuban blogger beatings
Not a peep from all those "Cuba experts" that are always - ALWAYS - the go to source for the MSM on anything Cuba-related.
What's matter, Phil? Sherritt cut your tongue?
Y tu, Julia? Blogger beatings not part of what everyone needs to know about Cuba?
Que pasa, Marifeli? Still waiting for orders from the senility down South?
Most of the self-styled, so called "Cuban" experts I've come across are nothing other than regime enablers who make a quick buck playing to an already compliant media here. Of course they're going silent on the Yoani episode; decrying it would put them in an uncomfortable position that may not get them any more interviews or grants or spots on the op-ed pages of the herald. They'd have to explain their position - imagine that! I don't know why local hosts in Miami give 'em the time of day, I mean it; it really makes me angry to see these clowns hog time on tv and print, as if they had any thing of any substance to offer.
Hideous!!! and don't hold your breath, Val.
But, for what it's worth, one "Cuba expert" will have something to say on the matter to a (probably diminutive) college audience tomorrow;

Unreal
Beatings what beatings? these were brief re-orientation chats, poor lads lost perspective on the glorious Cuban revolution.
Marifeli is not really a blogger so I don't expect anything right away. Julia won't bother either. Phil will make a post with a link...like a week from now. How did you not mention Bardach? She is by far the worst demonizer of the exile community.
Cuban Triangle has posted on Yoani.
