In wistful moods, I often wonder what Cuba (a nation with a higher per-capita income than Austria and Japan in 1958) might look like today if media such as Townhall, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, etc. had been around to mount a counterattack against Castro's U.S. media and State Department propagandists. Please note, Cuba fell to Castro and Che Guevara under a Republican, (Eisenhower) administration, but the State Department officials in charge of the looming disaster were classic Democratic pinkos, in thrall and in cahoots with their mainstream media (especially New York Times) soulmates.
