Quote:And you know my position. I know that the thread was posted as just the notification of a fact or rumour, but I have been around here long enough that many people find it amusing to continue saying how bad some countries are. I think that (if you are American) discussing about how bad Castro is, him being leader of 'an enemy state', knowing that your governments pays journalists in Miami and Cuba to write what it (your government) wants so knowing that you will have no correct information, and that this same country suffers from boycots imposed by your country, just does not make sense. I mean you might be right, the things that are said about Cuba might be true, but to put it nicely, the source is not very reliable.
You're right, I thought I noticed a slant when I was reading my daily issue of Pravda :whistling:
First off, why are you putting 'enemy state' in scare quotes? In case you forgot about the Cuban Missle Crisis in the 60's, read up about it here. There has been a long history of slights back and forth between the US and Cuba. It's no secret to Americans. To imply our general knowledge of Cuba is slanted, or historically inaccurate, is absolutely absurd. You say our sources are not reliable, justifying it by saying the US Government itself is paying journalists in Miami to write stories in Cuba?
Wow :lol:
