Viva Obama's Exec Order! NBC's Snow Serves Up a Travel Promo for Cuba
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Interesting: Cuba's Bureau of Tourism sponsored a three-minute promo on today's Morning Joe. Oh, wait, no. That was NBC itself, in the person of Kate Snow, with a smiley, unrelentingly upbeat segment promoting the glories of tourism in Cuba that will now be possible for Americans under President Obama's executive order relaxing former restrictions.

Snow's segment—entitled 'Bienvenidos a Cuba' just like a travelogue—had it all: beaches, dancing in the streets, cigars, rum, beer and all those nifty vintage cars potentially available to collectors. So, you ask, what did Snow have to say about the repressive Communist regime that continues to rule Cuba? Nada, naturally. Don't harsh the Cohiba mellow, compadre!

It looked like a Cuban Bureau of Tourism travel promo, but was actually a Kate Snow segment on Morning Joe. Ping to Today show list.

OMG are you serious?

Yes I know there are prostitutes everywhere. But to think that the biggest tourism income comes from a capitalist vice in a communist workers paradise..... Boggles the mind a bit.

The profits all go to the Cuban dictators.

None of this helps the Cuban people.

The drag queens will appreciate the additional attention...
