While I agree that broadcasters should be more responsible in their programming, the outrage over disinformation in Spanish media is selective, at best. I don't see any calls for "accountability" when Univision Network acts as the DNC's de facto stenographer.

The bad reporting and bias at Univision (by some in its national desk; the local affiliates are generally more professional) shouldn't be overlooked merely because they're more elegant about it or flatter liberal political biases.
Let's be absolutely clear: The people pushing these narratives about "Spanish disinformation" are censorious, left-wing political operatives who are unsatisfied with their current control over the vast majority of Spanish media. They insist on total and absolute hegemony.
When my non-Hispanic friends ask me what Univision's national programming is like, I tell them:
Imagine MSNBC in Spanish pretending to be an objective news network and sprinkle crude gossip programs on top.
It's unmitigated trash — and it has to be said.

I always add this disclaimer because it should be repeated:
There are some very good, highly professional people at Univision who are fair and try hard to do a good job.
Unfortunately, their work is often undermined by political activists posing as journalists.
