302.230977291 Q9

Contents:

Media control of Cuban history -- The media versus the Revolution -- The case of the Cuban Five -- The media opens and closes against Cuba -- Future coverage.

Summary: Bolender scrutinizes the foundation for the media's hostility against Cuba's socialist political/economic system, providing new insight into the propaganda workings of the so called 'free' press in the US and across Western liberal democracies. He reveals how the national press has established an anti-Cuba chronicle in adherence to Washington's unrelenting regime change policies. From coverage of the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Cuban Five and the current issues of Obama's 'Cuban Thaw' in 2014 to the renewed hostility under the Trump Administration, the author examines how damaging corporate media treatment of Cuba is to the understanding of the revolution and those who continue to support it. --Adapted from publisher description.
