There's so...Thanks for reading and commenting.<br /><br />There's some background here that is important and explains why Perez-Roura and Ninoska reacted differently to this story.<br /><br />Despite his past support for Romney in 2007, Perez-Roura has tacitly given his full support to Newt Gingrich, mainly because of Gingrich's Cuba policy.<br /><br />Meanwhile, just like many other Cuban hard-liners, Ninoska is backing Romney because of his "electability."<br /><br />So, Perez-Roura is more willing to be critical of Romney because he feels Romney is not the best candidate, just as he felt that McCain was not the best candidate in 2008. And, Ninoska predictably defends her favorite candidate (especially since many Cuban exile leaders also support Romney).<br /><br />The response wasn't a "good cop/bad cop" routine, it was a very apparent conflict of political interests inside Miami's hard-line community.<br /><br />I'm working on a post about this, so I look forward to your comments then.Mambi_Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549064503082026848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362928104369550741.post-59052207350163310422012-02-02T10:03:11.603-05:002012-02-02T10:03:11.603-05:00Today Ninoska and Perez-Roura were discussing how ...Today Ninoska and Perez-Roura were discussing how the press always manipulates information. Specifically they referred to Romney's comment on how he doesn't care about the very poor (just google "Romney" and "Poor" for info).<br /><br />Ninoska condemned the press for taking the quote out of context. Yes, the American press in general. Armando suggested it was a political mistake by Romney.<br /><br />I suppose it would be great if you could address these issues: <br /><br />1. How can Ninoska condemn all of the press of spin, thus separating Mambi from the entire media system? How can they all get the quote wrong except Mambi?<br /><br />2. Ninoska and Perez-Roura play a good cop - bad cop routine at 8:30 am. She plays the "angered by all the injustice" role to perfection. Perez-Roura plays the more calm and subtle commentator. This is a psychological manouver: Given that all Cubans can't be persuaded by Ninoska's emotionality (as some listeners must be more cerebral), Perez-Roura is there to be the "go to" voice of these more skeptical or level-headed listeners.<br /><br />Just some ideas.Tijerónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292829912599259296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362928104369550741.post-91685928736400734772012-01-20T19:11:44.831-05:002012-01-20T19:11:44.831-05:00Descansa en Paz Wilman.
