Want to know what is going on in Cuba? Well, the Miami Herald is feeding its readers propaganda printouts from the Communist government's Cuban News Agency (ACN) and passing it off as legitimate news. What also makes this practice especially insidious is that the pages on which these stories appear makes it seem as if they are Associated Press stories (AP). Note the prominent capitalized "AP" in the URL of the Herald's most recent ACN story: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/americas/cuba/AP/story/969447.html. And despite that "AP" this is not an AP story. It is strictly a copy and paste story from ACN or, more accurately, ACCN, Communist Cuban News Agency. So let us now take a look at a couple of the recent ACN propa...uh, news stories that have appeared in the Miami Herald including the most recent tender account of President/Dictator Raul Castro happily celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Cuban secret police aka State Security Services:
ACN [psst! try not to notice us.]
HAVANA -- -- Cuban President Raul Castro today presided over the main ceremony for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Cuba’s State Security Services.

We should have a Miami Herald lottery on what day the Herald print edition folds. I'm placing my bet on May 31 since that is just after the Herald parking lot sale deadline. Since I don't think the already disinterested prospective buyer is going to come up with the $190 million purchase price at that time and because May 31 is my birthday, that is why I choose that date.

Then May 31 it is. Zawahiri got hisself thumped on my birthday, so I think all FRiends deserve as auspicious a present.

Miami Herald’s going under - GOOD. Feel sorry for the sharks who will get diarrhea from eating them.
