Via satellite el cabezón de la Revolución, Ricardo Alarcón will attend the National Association of Hispanic Journalists’ convention this month in Fort Lauderdale.

Cuban activist Ninoska Pérez Castellón said she hopes journalists challenge Alarcón when he gives untruthful answers.

"I hope the journalists there have the integrity to ask him the questions that need to be asked," she said. "Every time we see Alarcón interviewed ... he gives a ridiculous answer and they just sit there and take it."
The Sun-Sentinel has the rest of the story.

Why don't us bloggers start compiling questions and send them to those journalist? Iknow they will probaably ignore us, but can you imagine them reading our questions and who knows one might slip through!

It is probably a good idea, and I think we should try. As to them ignoring the question, you bet they will! To journalists (from the MSM) bloggers are nothing more than a piece of gum stuck to the sole of their shoes. They will try not to upset el cabezón.
