Political Quotes

“my colleague brings up CNN, which is totally ludicrous because the Cuban people are denied the basic food by the Castro regime, he saves that for the tourists. CNN is broadcast in the tourist hotels which by law the Cuban people cannot use. They cannot use those pools, they cannot use the beaches by law. My colleague is speaking about a broadcast that does not reach the Cuban people, but I think the gentleman would be interested in knowing how the journalists, including CNN, are treated in Cuba and this just came through the wire today, and I will read it, the Reuter story. Communist-ruled Cuba, whose own media is state-controlled, has introduced new regulations for foreign media, including a stipulation that accredited foreign journalists must be objective in their reporting. And this is by Foreign Minister Roberto Robaina, one of Castro's thugs. So he has now a form for these foreign journalists to fill out, and I say to the gentleman who supports freedom for journalist to please speak about this.”
