Person Supposedly Interviewed in Recent Mainstream Media Article Has Been Dead for Years
(Source: The Western Journal)
On Thursday, a mainstream media outlet published an article detailing efforts from democrats to purchase Spanish-language radio stations in Florida. However, one of the sources it claimed to interview reportedly died two years ago.
In the article from the Associated Press, the outlet detailed opposition from Cuban listeners in Miami to an effort to buy out some of their favorite stations.
The Latino Media Network, founded by strategists from the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, reached a deal “to acquire 18 AM and FM stations in ten U.S. cities from Televisa/Univision,” the AP reported.
I'm so confused by this article.
The AP says it interviewed Miami Radio host Martha Flores on Wednesday, but she's been dead for two years.
How the hell did they pull this off? Séance? An ouija board? Did they hire a babalawo to talk to her? pic.twitter.com/YCVwlJgG7O— Giancarlo Sopo (@GiancarloSopo) June 11, 2022
The deal is still pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission, and many Miami listeners are speaking out against it.
The Miami station in question, Radio Mambi, draws listeners primarily of Cuban heritage. According to the AP, many of them feel this attempted acquisition by The Latino Media Network is an attempt to silence Latinos.
