520 _a"When Ed Schumacher spotted the line of Cuban refugees climbing aboard the boat in Mariel Harbor--some shuffling vacantly, others caressing lurid tattoos of daggers and skulls--he knew he was onto a good story. He didn't know he was going to rewrite history....The story Schumacher filed that afternoon ran on the [New York] Times' front page the next day under the headline Retarded People and Criminals Are Included in Cuban Exodus. It would single-handedly transform what had been sympathetic and even admiring press coverage of the 125,000 refugees fleeing Cuba through Mariel into the media equivalent of a lynch mob, crafting a stereotype of cocaine-drenched, chainsaw-wielding psychotics that would fascinate Hollywood, freak out cops and terrify most Americans for years to come." (MIAMI HERALD) This article discusses how the negative media coverage of the Mariel boatlift adversely affected the Mariel Cubans and the city of Miami for decades.
