Granma

[Karl Marx's Camel]

I am starting getting sick of the way Granma expresses itself. Lately it has used the term "atmosphere" so many times.


In the fraternal atmosphere


In a friendly atmosphere

etc.

Personally, I find Periodico 26 (http://www.periodico26.cu/) a better site. It is not as biased, many interesting articles, it has lots on Cuban culture and history, a more modern design.


Some (http://www.periodico26.cu/english/news_tunas/miracles020706.htm) interesting (http://www.periodico26.cu/english/cuba_profile/flag.htm) articles (http://www.periodico26.cu/english/cuba_profile/anthem.htm)

[Viva Fidel]

[Karl Marx's Camel]

To be honest I am starting to get tired by the Cuban press. All they seem to do is to present and defend the views of the state of Cuba.


YESTERDAY afternoon, President Fidel Castro received René Préval, president-elect of the Republic of Haiti at the Palace of the Revolution, where they had official talks in a spirit of friendship, respect and fraternity, all symbolic of the links between the Haitian and Cuban peoples.



Sidorski noted that Cuba is an important partner in political and economic issues in the Western Hemisphere via bilateral ties that go back to the Soviet era and are characterized by openness, sincerity, a spirit of solidarity and mutual aid.

what did you expect? to portray an "impartial" view condemning themselves for not allowing gusanos and liberals do away wiht the revolution? Most important newspaper in Latinamerica (El Universal in Caracas, El Tiempo in Bogota) reflect the interest of the local buorgoise, and they clearly don't allow any space for popular views of latinamerican conflicts. By the way, take a look atLa Jiribilla (http://www.lajiribilla.cu), the best cultural guide to events in cuba and has some satirical masterpieces.
