Last Sunday, June 15th, we interviewed Socialist Party nominee Brian Moore and posted a transcript of some of his various comments on topics talked about on the show. It was pointed out by a reader that part of our transcript was misleading to what Brian had really meant to suggest:
Notice how they put in brackets to make it look like he was calling all Cuban Americans in Florida terrorists. I don’t believe that was his intention. He was still talking about the right-wing Cuban fascists, and he probably thought the interview guy was asking about them, not all Cuban Floridians.
Turns out that the reader was absolutely correct, and in transcribing we got it wrong, as we all thought he was suggesting something he wasn’t. I just got off the phone with Brian, and he corrected the record. He was talking specifically about the “right-wing fascist” Cuban-Americans who have: “blackmailed their leaders” and “funded assassination attempts on Castro”, as opposed to all Cuban-Americans. He also said that there are “probably some Cubans in Miami that agree with me”.
Here’s the original transcript. We apologize to anyone upset, and reiterate that we take journalistic integrity very seriously.
