Oy.

Via Victor Shi:

Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

Univision, the Spanish-language news giant, shifts its approach to Trump

The presence of corporate executives at Mar a Lago raises alarm among Democrats who are used to Latino media criticism of the former president’s policies.

@GottaLaff @LibraryofBabble Holy fuck. So Univision is not going to be a honest broker in the 2024 elections; letting each campaign make their case on a level playing field.

Their C-level suite is going to let Donald Trump write them a check so that they can put their fingers on the scale.

I have no problem with Univision allowing Trump campaign ads - it's their cancellation of ads with the Biden campaign that is the tell.

Another failure of our corporate media.
