Adrian Baschuk's "Cuba: Waiting for a Revolution" premieres tomorrow night on Current TV.
He sets the scene on the Vanguard blog. Here's an excerpt:
"One of the toughest parts of this job is trying to cover all sides. I absolutely bring an unfiltered lens on my journeys. Never do I assume nor tote along preconceived notions of a place, person, or issue. The work is thus fascinating and becomes a process of discovery that I try to bring viewers along for. Watch that process of discovery unfold this Wednesday night in “Cuba: Waiting for a Revolution.”
Cuba, however, presented the ultimate challenge in objectivity. Views vary wildly on everything from the effectiveness of the US embargo, its human rights record, its provision of free social services, its authoritarian tendencies, etc etc etc. The responses I got on such issues from 80-year-old exiles who fled Cuba post-Castro differed from a US Congressman which differed from a young Cuban skater in Havana which differed from a University of Miami student in Coral Gables. Point is, the past, present, and future of this country was incredibly complex to cover and certainly will stir debate."

Vanguard sucks without Collective Journalism. Without Collective Journalism you are no different than the other networks, except your budget is less and it shows, and nobody watches.
Current screwed the pooch on that one.
