A Cuban Report From A Journalist You Can TRUST

 

   For a couple of decades Lucia Newman was the world's best television reporter regarding Latin America. That was when she worked for the richest U. S. networks who now have lost most of their trust, turning to left-wing/right-wing propaganda instead of honest news. One recent U. S. poll said only 11% of Americans trust their mainstream media. Therefore, regarding Cuba, Americans are being spoon-fed anti-Cuban/pro-Miami propaganda. Yet, there is still one honest journalist that reports honestly about Cuba by interviewing everyday Cuban people on the island, and that journalist is Lucia Newman. She is now the International Latin American Expert for Al Jazeera, which allows her to report the way she wants to, which is honestly.

     This week -- the last full week of July, 2022 -- Lucia Newman filed a 26-minute honest report from Cuba. She didn't interview Cuban government officials nor vicious Miami Cubans. She interviewed everyday Cubans about why literally millions of them have left or are leaving Cuba now, suddenly dropping the island's population from about 13 million to about 11 million people. That is very important and only a great journalist like Lucia Newman, not propagandists, should tell it.

     To learn why so many mostly young, well educated, and talented Cubans are now leaving the island, Lucia Newman interviewed many of them. Even Julian Gonzalez, who is 76-years-old, is finally leaving. He has, from his home as shown above, long been one of the world's best makers of homemade shoes. He told Lucia Newsman, "I've decided to leave my country because for years, I've dreamt of showing the world my work." Yes, he is 76-years-old and has lived all his life in Cuba.  He now has made plans to move to Argentina.

  Being a great and honest journalist, Lucia Newman asked Julian Gonzalez why, after all these years, he is finally leaving Cuba to live and work in Argentina. He explained that...like many other Cubans like him...he has waited for things to change in Cuba and change with the USA's Embargo and other harmful things against the Cuban people. As you can see above, he said, "We have been told that we will overcome all the problems we are facing, but we've seen that it is not true."

    This photo was taken from Lucia Newman's brilliant and important 26-minute video report from Cuba this week entitled: "Cuba: A Deserted Revolution?" I sincerely believe you should dial it up on the Al Zazeera website or YouTube. It shows a great and seminal journalist and Latin American expert who reports honestly on Cuba, including its grave problems and its talented, well-educated, and resilient people. If Americans  ignore reports from Cuba by great, honest journalists such as Lucia Newman, Americans basically get only anti-Cuba, pro-Miami journalism regarding the important issue of a neighboring country that happens to be...Cuba. But, of course, Lucia Newman reports Cuban news whether it is positive, negative, or somewhere between. Yes, she knows the everyday people on the important island nation and she knows its contentious relationship with its northern neighbor, the United States.
