The Media War against Cuba Public meetings with Keith Bolender - November 2019
Campaign News | Friday, 27 September 2019
"It’s a journalist axiom that if it’s anti-Cuba, it has to be true.” Warren Hinckle
The unrelenting stream of misinformation, myths, and outright lies against the Cuban Revolution has been one of the US government's most effective forms of aggression: aided and abetted by a non-stop propaganda programme by the corporate media.
With few exceptions the mainstream media has enthusiastically endorsed Washington’s objectives to end Cuba’s socialist experiment and force the country to return into the US’s hegemonic embrace.
Canadian author and journalist Keith Bolender will be speaking about his latest book ‘Manufacturing the Enemy, the Media War Against Cuba’ at a series of public meetings across the UK in November.
Come and find out how the media disinformation campaign against Cuba is just another part of the US government’s strategy to punish and isolate the Cuban people and what you can do to show solidarity.
