"After bestowing him with lengthy and exclusive interviews, Fidel Castro—who jailed, tortured and/or exiled every genuine journalist in Cuba in the process of outlawing a free press—seemed elated when he read the resulting articles penned by Jeffrey Goldberg. Needless to add, Goldberg had been thoroughly vetted by Castro’s KGB-trained intelligence before being allowed to set foot in his totalitarian fiefdom.
But even with all this advance work, Castro seemed surprised and delighted by how ideally Goldberg’s publishings matched his own Stalinist, terror-sponsoring regime’s propaganda agenda. In fact, Jeffrey Goldberg and Fidel Castro formed a veritable mutual-adoration society, with Castro often publishing love songs to Goldberg in his own captive (literally!) media, where he described Goldberg as an “expert” and as an “important and indefatigable” journalist.
Heaven knows it wasn’t often that Fidel Castro yielded (publicly, at least) to the “expertise” and “indefatigability” of others. But he made an exception for a few of his most shameless apple-polishers. One of these was The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, whose own apples Fidel Castro gratefully polished in return, with laudatory articles in his captive (literally!) media.
Often to simplify matters, totalitarian Cuba’s KGB-mentored media simply reprinted Goldberg’s The Atlantic articles word for word–that’s how perfectly Goldberg’s articles met the propaganda needs of the terror-sponsoring regime whose lifelong obsession was the destruction of Goldberg’s homeland."
