TV Anchor Sanctioned

We all know Dan Rather loves Fidel Castro. Birds of a feather those two. But, imagine if Dan were an anchor for a TV station in Cuba, do you think Danny boy would take kindly to something like this:

HAVANA, September 17 (Aleaga Pesant, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - TV anchorwoman Deysi Gómez was reportedly sanctioned recently because she mentioned exiled pianist Bebo Valdés on the air in her program Lente Mundial.

Grammy-award winner Valdés left Cuba early in the sixties and has never been back.

Gómez, a veteran TV personality, was Moscow correspondent for Cuban television in the 80s. Her nine-minute segment uses images from foreign TV, and Valdes' was one of those.
