COMMENTS: Cuban Sandwich
On a less dramatic day, the United States' new foreign policy towards Cuba would have made more prominent headlines. NBC and ABC both assigned a correspondent to cover new rules for visits to the island by Cuban-Americans, remittances to family members and telecommunications ties. CBS mentioned them in passing. ABC's Jeffrey Kofman took the half-full angle, calling the changes an "olive branch" from Barack Obama to Havana's Communist regime. NBC's Andrea Mitchell chose half empty: the President "did not propose a far more sweeping step, getting Congress to lift the trade embargo that has lasted for half a century…The Obama Administration still refuses to negotiate directly with Havana."
