Y'know where Rw/oB gets their Cuba info? You guessed it ... Miami-Cubano RW "exile" run Cubanet dot org.

Cuba has banned only two news agencies that I know of ... The Miami Hurled, and the Scum Sentinel. Both S Florida RW rags that do little else than appease the RW "exile" communities.

The reason Cuba banned them is because they violated Cuba's foreign agents laws. Their reporters entered Cuba to work on stories with tourist visas and declarations upon entry, when they are required to (just like in the USA) register for a working visa and were subsequently banned - not for their reporting.

It's these details that most America don't know or care to know about. For most, wiki/google links with info supplied by RW agendas suffice.

I appreciate the areas we do agree on.
