Synopsis
Even today, the press continues to treat Fidel Castro as something of a mystery. This is due, in part, to the widely accepted myth that left-wing dictatorships are superior to right-wing, a myth clearly refuted by the historical evidence: no left-wing dictatorship has ever evolved toward democracy, while some right-wing dictatorships have done so. The myth, however, nourished by propaganda, persists; and the perceptions of journalists are correspondingly distorted. Instead of seeing in Castro a man primarily intent on personal power, the press listens to, debates and propagates statements about Cuba.
