Garcia-Perez Named To Head Radio Marti


September 23, 2010: The Obama administration has picked Cuban-American attorney Carlos Garcia-Perez to direct the troubled Radio and TV Marti. The Spanish-language broadcast service is based in Miami and airs programming designed for Cuban listeners. Radio Marti has been plagued by financial scandals and reports of political bias and poor to nonexistent listenership.

"As we observe potential changes in the political and economic landscape in Cuba, it becomes even more important that Radio and TV Marti present a trusted source of objective news and information about events in Cuba and related U.S. policies," said Walter Isaacson, chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governor. "Garcia-Perez is a strong leader with a commitment to the editorial competence and professional journalism required of all broadcasters."

The BBG's release refers to Garcia-Perez's "rich experience in international law and business," but doesn't mention any media experience. His appointment must be approved by the BBG.

1. This Cuban "exile" controlled, programmed, staffed pork black hole

cost the American taxpayers well more than $30,000,000.00 per year.

Once Colorado Democratic Congressman David Skaggs attempted to remove TV Marti from our annual obligations and Cuban "exile" Florda Republican Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart launched an all-out war on him, telling him he would destroy every project Skaggs held dear, and proceeded to do it.

After Diaz-Balart destroyed Skaggs, he got the financial backing of the Cuban American National Foundation to take out advertising in Colorado newspapers informing Colorado taxpayers Skaggs had lost programs, projects for Colorado, and Skaggs was screwn. He didn't run for Congress again.

It's time BOTH burdens to US taxpayers got the attention they truly deserve, and not treated as ways to pacify Florida Cuban "exiles" who are in love with the idea of blasting their nonsense at the island which threw them out, 24/7/365.

2. Unfortunately letting them vent their anger in non-violent, economic actions

against noble Americans such as David Scaggs, this has to be preferable than the bombs,death threats, assassinations, and other acts of the standard S. Florida terrorism for which CANF has been so infamous. And their sordid company includes that she-wolf Diaz-Balart among the other spiteful and hateful people originally coming from Cuba.

These folks are only a threat to Cuba insofar as they can access the explosives and arms and military logistics from here, via CIA resources or its black market associations. If the CIA can be held in check from supplying the terrorists, Cuba and its revolution will survive as it has always done.

Rightwing Cuban exiles are a minority, and their money and loud mouths are insignificant in the big picture. America is bigger and greater than these vitrolic, worthless cockroaches (with apologies to all the roaches of the world for such an unfair comparison).
