BOREV: "Crime Pays If You Own a TV Station"
Crime Pays If You Own a TV Station

If you haven't noticed, the concept of freedom of expression has expanded exponentially when it comes to the media in those left-wing dictatorships in Latin America that everyone in South Florida loves to hate.

1. Great observations on a pathetic truth. The Miami Herald has been a monstrosity ever since the day
Cuban "exile" self-appointed Miami potentate and future President of Cuba launched his city-wide assault on the publisher, David Lawrence, leaving no stone unturned, from constant death threats to the Herald's staff to enormous signs on Miami buses bitching that the Herald writes lies (before it did!) to jamming up newspaper vending machines with gum then applying a coating of feces to them all, all over town. David Lawrence and his wife were so terrified of what the reactionary a-holes might do to them, they hired people to thoroughly check their cars, and start them before they would drive them, living in mortal dread that their names would be added to the pile of car bomb victims of the Miami filthy right-wing Cuban reactionaries.

Mas Canosa and his ugly thug minions got their way, and David Lawrence slipped out of town at some point, and the Miami Herald became a mouthpiece for deteriorated, rabid, violent, ignorant mutant half-wits.






Little Miami emperor, Miami Herald "architect"
Jorge Mas Canosa
now somewhat deceased


Memorable quote from Jorge Mas Canosa:
7/1/94 7/31/94 The Miami Herald reprints an interview with Jorge Mas Canosa from the Spanish newspaper El Pais. Mas Canosa was asked by El Pais whether he believed Americans would take over Cuba if Fidel Castro fell. The Herald quoted Mas Canosa as saying, in part, "They haven't even been able to take over Miami! If we have kicked them out of here, how could they possibly take over our own country?" (MH, 7/28/94; WP, 7/28/94)

Miami Herald's political guiding light,
Andres Oppenheimer.
They fired good writers, and kept him.
Figures, doesn't it?

2. Just noticed something, and have a question: Is the guy in the mirror behind Oppenheimer
going to the bathroom? Why didn't he shut the door?
