Let’s talk about ethics!

Before we talk about ethics, remember this main point: Cuba has had one dictator for 47 years and no free elections! What about all the political prisoners, executions, and tortures for 47 years? How do you justify these non-ethical points?

Let’s talk about ethics my freedom loving brethren: The government of Cuba owns and pays all media, newspapers, and bloggers in Cuber, yet not one peep from all those ‘ethics” experts. All those ‘ethics” experts have been silent or have conveniently ignored Dr. Biscet, Guillermo Farinas, the worlds longest held black political prisoner Eusebio Penalver, and what about Armando Valledares? What about the ‘ethics” concerning the Elian fiasco, the media and journalist omitting pertinent information about Elian’s father calling Miami before and letting the family be aware of his imminent arrival, what about Elian’s father application for an exit visa in Cuber? Yeah, let’s talk about “ethics” concerning all those politicians and Hollywood elite who fawn all over the dictator in Cuba and have the gall to come back to the U.S. and blast the U.S. while the dictator is a saint. All those “ethics” experts who call exiles all these names yet call spies who were caught red handed with short wave radios : “Collaborators.” A certain news agency who has had a news bureau in Cuber for over 20 years and not once have they been critical of the regime, because they are afraid to be kicked out! Who cares about all those who have died and those now who live in constant fear. Where are the “ethics” here? Your job and promotion is more important than the truth.

All those journalist who claim they are for civil rights and that they are for minorities, but when it comes to Cubans, their hatred for all Cuban exiles take priority for their reporting. Black Cubans who stand up against the dictatorship are totally ignored by the media. Journalist had a field day with apartheid South Africa(rightfully so!) but with apartheid Cuba: SILENCE. 10 or 12 Cubans are intercepted at sea are quickly labeled “illegal” while other ethnic groups are called undocumented by the media. Tell me where do you find “ethics” in this reporting?
When reporters interview the dictator or any of the “kill house gang” no tough questions are allowed, everything is prepared and manipulated from the start, with the standard normal Cuban exile bashing! Ethics?

No major media company would finance a movie about the ‘real” Cuban experience, yet dozens of movies about the dictator and the butcher Leche Guevara. Don’t see any “ethics” here mis hermanos.

Tell me where do you find “ethics” when you turn on your own people for an absurd ideology of communism!

Please media we don’t need a lecture on “ethics.”

By the way check this article posted on a site noted for journalistic “ethics” and truth!

Real nice piece!

You are especially correct regarding media ethics, or more precisely their lack of them. Big media is corporate bought and sold out since its inception. That's what so nice about the Internet. Now we unbig-media bloggers can tell the truth of the matter without any corporate or government information gate-keepers. They have provided us with the tools with which to free ourselves. In fact, these days I check the tv news only to see if they are reporting what I already discovered on the Internet from one of my blogger buddies!

Way to go Alfredo. 100% correct if they had any ethics , they would defend the weak and the oppressed in Cuba.but its more important to stick it to the exiles. Love the disclaimers.
