Martí-Noticias cheats U.S. law


Martí-Noticias cheats U.S. law

The director of the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, Carlos García-Pérez, is responsible for the multimedia operation that originates from Martí Noticias, involving radio, television, the Internet, mobile communications and social networks.

His strategy, now directed at Cuban-Americans in Florida, evades the law passed by the U.S. Congress that forbids the broadcast of programs funded by Congress to U.S. territory.

Every day, from the Hispasat satellite, through Directv, the Internet, and even the local MegaTeve channel, Martí Noticias violates the spirit of U.S. law, bombarding the émigré community with political propaganda, inculcating an ideology that does not reach the island directly but by rebound, through informal means.

Apparently, the agenda of Martí Noticias is to use the community as a springboard to carry its propaganda into Cuba through the human contacts on both shores, violating laws that define the activity of a federal medium regulated by the Federal Communications Commission.

The big payoff for US citizens is that we get to fund it by law, with no say whatsoever about our own tax dollars being used illegally.

It's enough to make the saints vomit.

This article is essential. Thank you.
