Its essentially more of the same.
My review of the segment ...

All American parties agree Castro is bad. Cuba isn't free.
And when Cuba becomes "free", then we'll get to go there. Until then, obey the law.


That's it.

On one hand that just gets it out of the way to be able to discuss other aspects .. but really Martin should be able to articulate things better, and he can't be that dumb about ... well then again ... it's amazing how many educated people don't know jack about Cuba or the rest of Latam!

It's a shame he's lived this long and not figured it out, yet.

Phooey! That's a downer.

Maybe someone will contact him and tell him to wake up!

I'm pretty sure he and his guest, Martin the pundit (can't remember his last name), both haven't taken the time to look behind the crap the corporate media have told us since 1959. I actually think they simply don't know.

Do they EVER have a big awakening ahead of them some day.

All the Cuba talk on news shows, however, is good for Cuba and Cuba supporters, as it might just start stirring enough curiosity within some people to get them asking questions, thinking things over, and moving to start their own research.

Every bit helps, even the dumb stuff, I'll bet.

As Cenk Uygur (of TYT fame) often says ... in the media business you've either worked for Murdoch or you will.
