The Herald, despite being previously informed, and despite what Simmons has declared, persists in employing a highly dubious character I wouldn't trust even as far as I could throw her, to "enlighten" me, a Cuban, about Cuba issues. Unbelievable. But maybe not. Maybe this is just, hey, the Miami Herald.

Are Herald executives so out of touch in their ivory tower that they can't see the obvious? Does the Herald want to lose even MORE credibility and business? Has the Herald learned nothing from its past mistakes? <BR/><BR/>What's more Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34120288.post-62873989834787003042008-08-08T12:47:00.000-04:002008-08-08T12:47:00.000-04:00Just read the Herald piece.

They forgot "exile hysteria," but maybe they're being, you know, tactful (at least in print). I guess we can all rest easy now. Nothing to worry about, so just move along.

FIU also employs Lisandro Perez, who recently, in a public meeting, reportedly refused to acknowledge that Fidel Castro is a dictator. Gee, I wonder if the FIU connection is just a coincidence. I expect both FIU and the Herald would say so, so everything must be fine and dandy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
