3 Sundays ago RTE's Frame 2 documentary series featured interviews with anti-Castro groups, including the terrorists , Alpha 66

(sorry did I say left-wing? I meant right-wing, just wanted to get the attention of the ‘RTE is left-wing liberal etc' brigade

Anyway, 3 weeks ago RTE's Frame 2 documenatry series featured interview with anti-castro groups in Miami, including the paramilitary/terrorist group Alpha 66, who have been responsoble for numerous bomb attacks on the island since the revolution

The theme of the documentary was how Cuba would "rejoin the prosperpous free West" (seriously this is what the narrator said)
once Castro was gone,
Alpha 66 were shown in combat gear, some in balaclavas, doing military training and talking about their missions in Cuba,
If this wasn't promotion of terrorists then I don't know what is

Frame 2 followed this up the next week with a programme about Neo-Conservatives which consisted of an hour of interviews with various neo-cons explaing their point of view, no hard questions put of course, the only critical person was a french commentator who wondered how people "with such good intentions" could get the Iraq war so wrong.

left-wing liberal me eye!
