FWIW, as a Hispanic-American, I can’t stand these spanish speaking networks like Univision because in America, we speak english.
There would not even be a market for networks like Univision, in this country, if it weren’t for the 42 million plus illegals that are residing here. How crazy is that?

Jorge Ramos sigue siendo una gran mierda.
It will be interesting if thanks to “server gate” that will take Hillary DOWN bigtime.
The negative was for Obama would never have ejected Ramos. And I agree I thought it was good style for Trump to allow him back in and then ask the question. I thought Trump handled it well and fairly for as much of pain in the *ss Ramos was being. Wonder if the BLM crowd will try that w/ Trump.
Too bad the phony Ramos didn’t tell the whole story about his connections to the Clintons....including that his daughter works for Hillary’s campaign.
THE CLINTON-UNIVISION CONNECTION
REFERENCE Bill Clinton fronted (for an undisclosed fee) at Univision’s bid for an IPO-— on the subject of “growth and influence of the Latino market” (translation-—phonying up the stats to spoon-feed gringos the latino agit-prop).
The NY Post reports the Univision speech was part of a strategy with Univision owner, Israeli Haim Saban, to deliver these votes to Hillary. Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul, is hosting Hollywood fund-raisers for Hillary in LA, and is a huge donor to the shady Clinton Foundation
TIT FOR TAT Bill does the paid speech for Haim and Haim helps deal with the critical Hispanic audience for Hillary.
WIKI-—Latino Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.[22]
Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban’s Clinton-era “generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President’s Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues.”[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife “slept in the White House several times during President Clinton’s two terms.” Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a “very good friend and supporter.”[5] Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that “Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle.” [25] Saban’s donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: “I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation’s work, particularly on reconciliation issues.”[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to “keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries.”[27] The donors, who “were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign”, “were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party ‘superdelegates’ should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate.”[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors “have been strong supporters of the DCCC” and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had “offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization’s two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat.”[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”[38]
Haim Saban labels himself a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.
