CUBA: Castro's Media Counterattacks Blogger Sanchez's Letter From Obama.

CUBAN COLADA/MIAMI HERALD/
An article, titled "Operation Marketing," written by Estaban Martinez on Cubadebate.com is the first commentary on the Obama-Sánchez exchange to appear in an official website.
Martínez said that "the blogger's position has changed from mild criticism of the Cuban revolutionary project to more open and aggressive stances that invite a confrontation." Thus, Sánchez "aligned herself with the enemies of the Revolution, appearing frequently in articles and interviews on Radio Martí and El Nuevo Herald, mouthpieces of the most retrograde positions and the loudspeakers of the Cuban-America mafia in Florida." After listing several public events at which Sánchez appeared, "seeking at any cost to make herself visible," Martínez said that Sánchez "concocted a new tale when she told everyone about her 'kidnapping' by agents of State Security who (she said) beat her."
