Talk:Elián González joins Communist youth group, AP says

Quoting reader commentary from other sites??
I do not like this paragraph which contains a highly POV quote posted by a reader of the Daily News:
 * ''A comment posted on the New York Daily News article by a someone named "Pyrrhus" said, "Undoubtedly a total government brainwashing began the minute he arrived back in Cuba. It's sad that a child so young was put into such a political situation. Who knows what political ideals he would have embraced had he been free to chose them on his own. As much as we bicker politically in these Daily News commentaries, let's remember that we are privileged by having the right to do so here in the United States."

I think it is inappropriate. Thoughts? --SVTCobra 15:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it shows the context of Cuba-United States relational problem. Not from the government but from a regular person. Kingjeff (talk) 15:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Single source
There is no doubt in my mind this is from a single source. "said AP" is affixed to virtually every paragraph in the Bloomberg article, there is zero evidence they have verified the content of "Juventud Rebelde", and the only non-AP aspect of their story is the background. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

You might as well just delete the article then. Kingjeff (talk) 21:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I have added a newer Bloomberg article where it seems they went back and verified the AP story. I also added the Juventud Rebelde article and though my Spanish is limited, it seems to substantiate the claims. I removed the single source tag. --SVTCobra 21:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Title change
Maybe the title should change back since it has been verified. Kingjeff (talk) 01:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
