"Without your help," a beaming Fidel Castro said while nodding at Herbert Matthews during a visit to The New York Times's offices in April 1959, almost exactly a year after he'd visited Marquez-Sterling, "and without the help of the New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been."

And, rather than learning anything from that, the American media (and academia) spent the next sixty-some years glorifying Castro and his associate butcher Che.

But we’re the ones who are out of touch with mainstream thought.
