Media focused on dissident instead of Beyonce, Cuban official laments
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The media is too fixated on Cuba's best-known
dissident, blogger Yoani Sanchez, who is on an 80-day multination tour,
and has not focused enough on important news in Cuba like the visit of
pop star Beyonce, a Cuban official said on Thursday.
Jose Cabanas, the top Cuban diplomat based in the United States, said
Sanchez was garnering much more media coverage than necessary after she
was granted a passport and set off in February on a journey to more than
a dozen countries.
"Too much attention has been devoted to this lady, taking a lot of
attention from the most important ... news that has been happening these
days in regards to Cuba," Cabanas said in response to a question at the
Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based think tank.
"Including the presence of Beyonce, the singer, who is today in Havana,
enjoying a lot of attention from the public, but it's not covered by the
media - incredible."
