Cubainformación Introduces “Miami Fake” Initiative to Combat Anti-Cuban Propaganda

In a bold move to combat what it sees as misleading coverage, Cubainformación TV has launched “Miami Fake,” a new program dedicated to analyzing and refuting anti-Cuban narratives promoted by U.S.-backed media outlets. The initiative aims to provide alternative perspectives on news related to Cuba amid ongoing tensions with the United States.

The program, which debuted recently, specifically targets content from media platforms such as Diario de Cuba, ADN Cuba, Cubanet, CiberCuba, and Cubanos por el Mundo. According to Cubainformación, these outlets actively work to justify the decades-long U.S. economic blockade against Cuba while encouraging political interference on the island.

Cubainformación positions itself as a counterweight to what it describes as international media manipulation about Cuban affairs. The organization produces and distributes news, analysis, and audiovisual content covering Cuban politics, economy, culture, and society, working in coordination with state institutions and international solidarity groups.

The inaugural episode of “Miami Fake” examined several recent media campaigns that Cubainformación claims distort Cuban reality. A primary focus was the coverage of Hurricane Melissa’s aftermath, which the program criticized for portraying an alleged absence of government response. According to Cubainformación, these reports deliberately obscured the comprehensive mobilization of Cuba’s Civil Defense system, which they credit with preventing loss of life during the natural disaster.

Another segment analyzed media coverage surrounding José Daniel Ferrer, leader of the opposition group UNPACU. The program contends that certain outlets have worked to legitimize Ferrer as a “political prisoner” while highlighting his connections to right-wing U.S. politicians such as Senator Marco Rubio and Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, an exile community leader.

The program also addressed media coverage of the recent United Nations vote condemning the U.S. embargo against Cuba. Cubainformación criticized ADN Cuba for what it described as downplaying the overwhelming international rejection of the blockade by focusing instead on the seven countries that aligned with Washington’s position.

Additionally, “Miami Fake” challenged reports from outlets like Cubanet and Diario de Cuba about alleged “Cuban mercenaries” fighting in Russia. The program stated these claims were spread without evidence and noted that Cuban authorities had previously dismantled illegal recruitment networks attempting to send Cubans to fight abroad.

Tourism and emigration—crucial economic factors for the island nation—were also discussed. The program highlighted what it characterized as media campaigns designed to discourage travel to Cuba and the sending of remittances from Cubans abroad, which represent vital income sources for many families. According to Cubainformación, these narratives deliberately obscure how U.S. sanctions impact Cuba’s economic difficulties.

The launch of “Miami Fake” comes amid ongoing economic challenges in Cuba, which the government attributes largely to the U.S. embargo, while critics point to domestic policy failures. The program represents part of a broader media strategy by Cuban state-aligned outlets to counter negative international press.

With this new initiative, Cubainformación reaffirms its self-described commitment to “truth and the sovereignty of, and solidarity with, the Cuban people.” The program explicitly positions itself as a communication service supporting the Cuban state, reinforcing official narratives on national and international matters while encouraging participation from emigrant communities and solidarity organizations in what it calls the “defense of the Revolution.”
