Government / Politics
Nadie, ni sus más grandes críticos, rechazarían la invitación a integrar la delegación presidencial norteamericana que haría la primera visita oficial a Cuba.
Por supuesto que esto provocaría una gran alharaca en algunos círculos de extremistas de Miami. Aunque es de suponer también que la prensa mediocre y malsana, reducida a un ejercicio de resentimiento desde el 17 de diciembre del 2014, tendría que guardar ciertas formas ante el despliegue de la poderosa voluntad presidencial, ahora representada en Barack Obama. La misma Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, que tanto blasfema en Miami contra la normalización de relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos, no tendría otro remedio que moderar sus declaraciones y darle el trabajo sucio a Carlos Curbelo; como antes hacía con David Rivera, a quien comprometía con los más grandes disparates anticubanos, solo con el fin de que ella luciera más o menos decente en el Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del Congreso.

: why obnoxious "sounding"? Either this section of the press is simply obnoxious or it isn't...

Obnoxius-sounding through the written words or exercise of the journalists. Of course!

the amateurish and ill-intentioned press
It's not likely I will end up with any points for this since "gutter press" already has 8 agrees.
However, I think this suggestion sounds good and is a more literal translation, so if you want a more verbose option with that little extra sting that only big words can sometimes provide, you could consider this one.
I think amateurish works well for mediocre, and see:
