U. S. Media Overwhelms Cubans in Cuba!!
Cubans in Cuba, such as the popular journalist above, have opinions about U.S.-Cuba and Havana-Miami relations. Havana's Rosy Amaro has visited fourteen {14} famed foreign cities -- Paris, Beijing, Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Instabul, etc. -- but she has no plans to visit nearby Miami. Yet she has pertinent opinions about whether, for example, journalism is FAIRER in Havana or in Miami: "Because of the U. S. blockade of Cuba, journalists such as me struggle to have necessities of life in our households, but at least we provide fair journalism to the people because we live beside them or with them and the people would know if we lie to them or not. In Miami and in the U. S. the rich and powerful journalists live mostly in luxury and routinely lie as propagandists to the American people. How do I know that? I know Cubans who live in Miami. And I also see that many respected polls in the U. S. reveal that barely 10% of the U. S. citizens 'trust their media.' But journalists like me in Cuba don't lie to the masses of people in Cuba because, like them, we all suffer from the crimes against us by rich and powerful Cubans in the U. S. who benefit from things such as the Embargo, which the entire world wildly condemns, but, alas, as the richest and most powerful nation in the world the U. S., and its media, can do whatever they want to do to Cubans in Cuba. To deny that fact is to deny the truth about the blockade and other U. S. policies regarding Cubans in Cuba."
One problem with U.S.-Cuban Relations, both before and after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 that got rid of the Batista dictatorship in Havana but then quickly created Little Havana in Miami, is that it seems that only ultra-powerful Miami forces are allowed to dictate U. S. policies regarding Cuba. Miami Law Professor Pedro Freyre or someone like him routinely are used by the U. S. media and the U. S. government to guide Cuban policies in the USA. For example, today -- on November 19th of 2023 -- the most powerful Cuban News flashing around the world is an article by the Associated Press, the USA's giant News Agency, and by Voice of America, the U. S. government's giant worldwide media source. Obviously that article didn't include any opinions from Cubans in Cuba like Rosy Amaro but did include the opinions of Miami's Pedro Freyre -- as shown below:
If you take time to read today's worldwide article {above} on November 19th-2023 from the Associated Press/Voice of America, in the headline and in the article there are references to Cubans in Cuba having dire problems because they can't afford basic items although Cuba is now flourishing with entrepreneurs trying to open new stores filled with products the people need. Of course, the article doesn't mention the endless U. S. economic blockade of Cuba as a cause of the problem. In the two last paragraphs shown above, note that the quotations are by "Pedro Freyre, an analyst with the Florida-based Akerman Consulting and professor at Miami Law School." PERHAPS ONE DAY the AP and V of A might ask a Cuban Mother in Cuba, such as the journalist Rosy Amaro, how she feels about things such as...the U. S. Blockade!!!
