Listen to Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. He charged that his network gave too friendly an interview with Trump, and in so doing it “put in doubt the independence of our news department.” Ramos added that Univision cannot “offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories." Let it be a warning to all news media.

@georgetakei It will not be the last interview.

There is targeted propaganda at the Latino community and no one is countering it. Latinos are the second-largest group of voters in the country.

I am doing my best to remind media groups to do segments for Latino voters.

I will continue to use my platform to lift the voices of those who do not have a platform.

@georgetakei
8 years late probably better than never.
@georgetakei Although they repeat his lies, even Fox won’t give him live air time anymore.

@michaelslade @georgetakei Long ago, media organizations should have refused #Trump live air time, given his record of frequent, proven #lies. He should have lost the privilege of being broadcast without real-time fact checking.

If I had my way goddamn Jeff Zucker of CNN would be facing a tribunal at The Hague for exactly that, and join that piece of shit Trump there.

@michaelslade @georgetakei

TFG's lies *originate* on FAUX & OANN. He takes their latest racist homophobic talking points & puts them on blast

He's got zero as far as creativity. He just sells the snake oil

@georgetakei
Based on the last couple of weeks, #Univision has become just another fascist propaganda network like Newsmax or Fox News working to end democracy and raise a Republican #FourthReich.

Journalistic integrity takes years to build but only an hour to burn to the ground.

@bigheadtales @georgetakei Man, I used to call statements like this alarmist, counterproductive, hysterical. But the people who likely would make up the administration are straight up telling us this is the case. Univision damaged itself badly.
@georgetakei well put George. Silence thy enemies. That's the only way Democrats can win.

@georgetakei Kudos to Univision's Jorge Ramos:

It sadly doesn't happen every day that influential news-outlet personalities openly spell out the truth about Trump's dangerous potential to destroy America's Rule of the People, aka democracy.

@georgetakei Perhaps Trump's audience is as large as it will get. Most have decided about Trump and the decision is good for the future.

@georgetakei

Well that motherfucker Jeff Zucker gave that piece of shit Trump and his disgusting cronies like Kellyanne Conway free reign over the CNN airwaves and look what happened…

…shithole country

@georgetakei

If I had my way goddamn Jeff Zucker of CNN would be facing a tribunal at The Hague for exactly that, and join that piece of shit Trump there.

@RodneyPetersonTalent Uh ... Jeff Zucker hasn't been at CNN for quite a while. He got fired and his replacement Chris Licht also got fired. CNN isn't CNN anymore!

@PerryM

Oh I know. But that piece of shit definitely was instrumental in getting Trump “elected”

@georgetakei Are you against free speech?
@georgetakei Jorge Ramos was physically removed from one of trump’s early rallies back when trump was running for president the first time because Ramos asked a question that trump didn’t like.
