No. On UVN TV and on WAQI they are covering the news with zero opinion and commentary. SBS and Telemundo and the indies are eating it up.
Corporate content management comes out of the liberal Televisa HQ in Mexico City.

Opposition to Univision sale

Both Univision radio stations have been running the DeSantis commercial. Talk hosts have been reacting to the commercial.
They can not legally turn down a political ad unless they reject every political ad.
WQBA is all sports, and there are no local political commentators.
On WAQI they are dealing with it just like any other news item. That is their job, but they are discussing it far less than the other talk stations are.
And if they did not include the subject, the critics would say the buyer was controlling the content already. That, in Miami, would be far worse.
WQBA is not political. It is TUDN.
They need to address the disinformation. Not addressing it contributes to it.
What dis8nformation have you personally heard on WAQI? I listened quite a while and heard none. The story is that groups in MIA are protesting the purchase of WAQI to make it reflect liberal Democrat positions, and that is close to treason for most Hispanics in Miami who are refugees from totalitarian socialist regimes.
LMN has not said it intends to "make it reflect liberal Democrat positions." That is disinformation.

Which is how this thread has gotten to an 11th page in less than a week after it was started ...
... much of it repetitive rhetoric and speculation, I am sad to note.
And that is not what the Cuban exile community is protesting: two Democrat political operatives with very liberal positions (and no media experience) who are financed by leftist Soros are buying "the voice" of "El Exilio".
As you know, media companies get financing from lots of people and places. The Bass Brothers funded a lot of the Clear Channel station acquisitions in the 2000s. NPR gets funding from the federal government. That doesn't make it propaganda. The reason companies hire levels of management is to shield the programming from the money. That was the idea behind CPB and public broadcasting. That's why most newspapers separate the role of editor and publisher. That's why TV production companies separate the roles of producer and director. This is a very common thing in the media.
People need to understand exactly what will happen to these stations, and the best way for that to happen is for the president of Univision to explain to the audience why he did this deal.
Already done. Univision is divesting all AM stations and any stations in diary markets. Like selling a house, you look for the best offer.
And if you think Soros makes any investment whatever for non-political reasons, I have a nice stand-alone AM in Lajas, PR, I can get for you at a nice price.
Would you consider Citgo?
What is political to you and what is political to someone else are not necessarily the same. I see politicians look at me with a straight face and tell me the money they receive from the NRA does not influence their vote. Are they to be believed when they say that? If not, then why is such money allowed?
As I've said, most liberals believe in funding minority business. They see it as a nice thing to do. Not unlike volunteering at a food bank. The quote in the press release clearly presents this as a minority run business. He gives money to lots of non political causes. But you won't hear about that from Fox News.
That's what I meant
JaJaJiJiJoJo (that is laughter in Spanish). Sadly, Venezuela is an absolutely beautiful nation, from the sand dunes at Coro to Lake Maracaibo, to the Andean highlands near San Cristóbal to the beaches on Nueva Esparta and the cable car that takes you thousands of feet above Caracas where you can suck fresh "mamones" and enjoy the view all the way to the Caribbean.

But best is Angel Falls, "the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 metres (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyán-tepui mountain in the Canaima National Park" (Quote from Wikipedia). Totally breathtaking, making Niagra Falls look like a bathroom shower.
My favorite is the reconstructed Campo de Carabobo (Carabobo Fields) where Bolívar defeated the Spaniards solidified the defeat of Spain in 1821. They have a narrated and illuminated recreation of the battle that is astoundingly moving.
I was given an amazing tour of the country when Venevisión wanted me to manage their recently constructed national network which included several key 100,000 watt stations. In retrospect, I fortunately turned them down.
Do they KNOW either of those two women? Have they sat at a table with them and talked? Or are they basing their opinion on prejudice and bias, the very tools used against millions of Hispanics in this country? Someone comes in with an accent, and it's assumed they must be the dishwasher instead of the owner.
There is plenty on the record about what they did and said in the Obama campaigns and administrations and during the Hillary Clinton campaign.
I can find nothing that says either of them speaks, reads or writes Spanish. Not to say that they don't, but they are much later generation and finding fluent Spanish speakers among that group is highly unusual.
In Miami, if someone comes in speaking Spanish, you'd better find them the best table and watch that they get the best service.
Prejudice is based on lack of knowledge. People make assumptions about others without actual knowledge of those people. It's so much easier to hold on to one's personal bias, especially when you live in a place where you're comfortable in your culture. That puts you in a position of strength, so your biases get even more support. If it sounds like I just went through a bias training program, you're right. I did. The exact "woke" training that is now outlawed in Florida.
There are a lot of conservatives who want to wipe out Spanish in this country. They want to eliminate the choice of Spanish at ATMs or self-check in grocery stores. They want to eliminate ESL programs in schools. I've even heard people at radio conventions say they want to eliminate Spanish radio. They say Spanish is the language of illiteracy. Some are very prominent politicians. They want to pass those laws. Rick Santorum was one of them. This kind of thinking is based on fear and lack of knowledge. The same kind of fear we saw today. But hey, look. Who cares? Let's stay with our biases and prejudices. It's much safer that way.
Now you are just making stuff up. There is no way you could come up with five politicians of any type who espouse those anti-Spanish views on the record. Rick Santorum is a washed-up politician that never was a serious player in national politics, even at the height of his career. Quite frankly, you are guilty of the very prejudices you attribute to "conservatives", as you do not have actual knowledge of "those people". It is quite evident in your postings.
And to address your very predictable response, advocating for English to be the "national language" is not the same as anti-Spanish bigotry. It just means that all government business will be conducted in English (as it mostly is anyways). Many other countries have similar laws espousing their own respective national languages. Furthermore, it has the effect of uniting the population instead of dividing them, a feature we very much need these days.
