Best of the Web has an interesting update on this news item from the other day concerning the "intellectuals" launching a campaign to defend Cuba. The interesting part is the author:
On Friday we cited a Reuters dispatch from Havana on a group of "intellectuals" who had signed a statement of support for Cuba's communist tyranny. The author of the Reuters dispatch was Marc Frank.
So we're just wondering: Is it the same Marc Frank who wrote a piece of pro-Castro, anti-American propaganda called "TV Marti vs. the Cuban People"? Is this the same Marc Frank who wrote the 1993 book "Cuba Looks to the Year 2000," and who, according to this article from Communist Voice, "has spent a number of years in Cuba as the correspondent for the Soviet revisionist CPUSA's [Communist Party USA] newspaper People's Daily World"?
Always interesting to see who's spooning out the news. It takes a canny consumer.
