Revisionist History
The NYT has a story about the Senate easing travel restrictions to a certain totalitarian cesspit that’s only 90 miles from Universal Studios Florida. Now, I don’t care much one way or the other about this. I’ve heard about equally persuasive things on either side of the Cuba issue…from theories that the restriction of trade and American money give Castro somebody to blame; to the position that we must look strong against him. So, I don’t have much to say about the actual Senate decision, but I think the lead from this story obviates that the NYT is still far from the leader in fair news:
In a firm rebuke to President Bush over Cuba policy, the Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly voted to ease travel restrictions on Americans seeking to visit the island.
Firm rebuke to Bush eh? Our Cuba policy has been the same since their beloved John Kennedy for Pete’s Sake! This isn’t a rebuke to Bush or Bush policy, this represents a paradigm shift in the way US polciy makers think about Cuba. Thanks NYT, at least your bias is easy to spot these days.
