Manufacturing the Enemy: The Media War Against Cuba

By Keith Bolender

Book Overview

For sixty years, the mainstream US media has demonstrated consistent bias against Cuba. This misinformation is used to prop up US government foreign policy objectives. Journalist Keith Bolender draws on extensive media coverage of US-Cuban relations including the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Obama's 'Cuban Thaw' and renewed hostility under Trump, to show how damaging corporate media treatment of Cuba is to understanding the revolution. Bolender scrutinizes why the media is so hostile to Cuba's political and economic system, providing new insight into the propaganda workings of the supposedly "free" press across Western liberal democracies.
