Castro as other leaders knew the value of propaganda. Once his 80 riflemen made it into the Sierra Maestra, he set up a radio station. The West, as much or more than the other side, has made propaganda a science as the leading consumer society, in our faces every day whether it's shoes or Castro.

Who was yelling the most of rigged elections, devious and dishonest "mainstream media"? Media now is publicly broadcasting its partisanship from not doing its legwork, going along and piling on when it sensed blood, as it always has and I said here several times. Please name one independent US newspaper.

Independently owned, yes; none without bias because perfect balance is inimical to our natures.
