CTV Network's "W5" Joins Anti-Cuba Diatribe

- Isaac Saney, National Spokesperson, Canadian Network On Cuba -

The Canadian Network on Cuba informs you that in addition to the Toronto Star's malicious disinformation campaign on Cuba in conjunction with the Miami Herald's Spanish edition, CTV's "W5" has also joined the scurrilous campaign of outright deception based on bogus sources. A lead item presented by Victor Malarek on the program "W-5" on Saturday March 16, presented Cuba as a "paradise for sex tourists," a veritable smorgasbord for paedophiles. The "big exposé" itself was a collaborative effort involving the Canadian Border Services Agency, The Toronto Star, and even Juan O. Tamayo, a CIA asset touted as a reporter with The Miami Herald. Neither the Miami Herald nor its reporter Tamayo are credible sources when it comes to Cuba. It is known that for decades The Herald has been a U.S.-backed mouthpiece for the Cuban counter-revolutionary mafia based in south Florida. As for Tamayo, he was "outed" as a CIA asset years ago by veteran Quebec journalist Jean-Guy Allard.
