Good call by the Obama Administration to make budget cuts in the ineffectual, counterproductive, Miami-based Radio and TV Marti. That’s the government broadcasting network that beams ham-handed propaganda into Cuba. Quality journalism and Radio and TV Marti are considered oxymoronic by anyone outside the exile community and their right-wing political acolytes.
Unfortunately, the cut will only lop off about $2.5 million from the nearly $35 million budget.
If Radio and TV Marti really wanted to do some good, they would simply continue to underwrite the broadcast of Major League Baseball – and nothing else.
