Radio Loco: A Miami reporter’s journal

By Kirk Nielsen, FloridaBulldog.org

In early June, Latino Media Community, a New Mexico-based startup dedicated to freedom of speech and balanced, fact-based journalism, introduced its buy of Spanish-language Radio Mambí (WAQI-AM 710) essentially the most listened to AM station in South Florida. The vendor: TelevisaUnivision, below whose possession Radio Mambí has remained a beacon of inflammatory, typically malicious expression – particularly whether it is anti-Democrat, anti-Biden, pro-Trump and spreads beliefs that Democrats stole the 2020 election and are conspiring to steal the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election.

Some Radio Mambí hosts and listeners have gone as far as to reward the militant far-right Proud Boys and converse favorably about violence as a technique to fight “a looming Democratic Get together dictatorship.

The sale comes amid intensified scrutiny by media watchdogs of the function AM radio stations throughout the US are enjoying to sow distrust within the U.S. electoral system and unfold politically biased, malevolent disinformation.

For many years, Radio Mambí has maintained sizable hourly audiences—about 125,000 listeners, based on the most recent rankings—making it a profitable if controversial property for Univision, which merged with Televisa in 2021. In any other case, the Spanish-language media large, with professional forma revenues of $4.2 billion final 12 months, has a radio portfolio consisting principally of FM music stations and its nationwide tv information applications exemplify the identical evidence-based journalism as their English-language counterparts at CBS, NBC, and ABC.

TelevisaUnivision executives ignored a number of requests for touch upon the shortage of such moral journalistic practices at Radio Mambí.

Many South Floridians who don’t converse Spanish, and plenty of who do, are unaware of this doubtlessly harmful undercurrent of hate, amplified by Spanish-language radio, that flows by way of their communities. For individuals who are conscious, the acquisition of Radio Mambí might mark a turning level in countering mass disinformation, if solely on Spanish language AM radio in Florida.

LT. GOV. NUNEZ AND RADIO MAMBÍ

But it surely gained’t be with out a battle. Though in actuality the political voices of Cuban exiles are numerous, in promos Radio Mambí proclaims itself “the Voice of el Exilio Cubano.” (Mambí is a time period for a Cuban guerrilla soldier who fought in opposition to Spanish colonizers within the nineteenth Century.)  In that spirit, Florida Lt. Governor Jeanettte Nunez appeared on the Bay of Pigs Veterans Affiliation headquarters in Little Havana on June 8 with a cluster of small Cuban exile teams purporting to talk for all Cuban exiles. Latino Media Community is trying “to silence us,” they declared.

Nunez accused Mambí’s new house owners of “making an attempt to transform Radio Mambí into Radio Soros,” referring to billionaire investor George Soros, considered one of whose corporations is concerned in financing the $60 million buy of Mambí and 17 different TelevisaUnivision-owned AM and FM stations throughout the nation. Nunez falsely accused Soros of backing “extremist causes” then declared, “This effort to take over our beloved Radio Mambí station is one thing that we aren’t going to face idly by,” referring to herself and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

GOP Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and the Miami space’s three Cuban-American Republican U.S. Home reps – Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Gimenez, and Maria Elvira Salazar – additionally acquired into the act. They despatched a letter to the Federal Communications Fee suggesting the company cease the sale, asserting the purchase is a transfer by “elite progressives” to “claw again help from Hispanic voters, who’ve rightly turned their backs on Democrats and their socialist priorities.” “We’re involved that far-left ideologues try to consolidate and develop their management over the media, to allow them to flood the airwaves with propaganda with the hopes of fooling listeners,” the lawmakers wrote.

The letter contends Radio Mambí is a pillar of the area people and “serves a significant function in South Florida, providing listeners crucial protection of the dictatorship in Cuba and native information reporting.” The letter doesn’t be aware that Rubio, Scott, Diaz-Balart, Salazar, and Gimenez commonly seem on the station for interviews to belittle and berate, unopposed, President Biden and different Democrats.

In reality, many information retailers in South Florida provide “crucial protection” of the dictatorial regime in Havana, and Radio Mambí presents hardly any “native information reporting.” So precisely what sort of speak on these public airwaves are we speaking about?

Latest media protection of the sale hasn’t actually finished it justice. Some highlights from Radio Mambí’s inflammatory output because the November 2020 presidential election is instructive. What follows is a distillation of speak gleaned from numerous hours of listening, recording, note-taking, and translating by this reporter, who has been a Radio Mambí listener, on and off, because the late Nineties.

THE SPECTER OF AUGUSTO PINOCHET

October 2020. Within the weeks earlier than the November 3 presidential election, Radio Mambí hosts and callers are loathing Democrats much less for his or her supposed cahoots with the routine castrista than for the assumption that Democrats wish to set up a one-party communist regime of their very own in the US, in league with federal intelligence businesses and the united statesjudicial system. One hears nothing however loyalty to Trump and enraged consensus that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both belong to a corrupt international communist cabal or sympathize with it. The range of opinion relating to the Democratic ticket ranges from Nineteen Seventies Latin American-style fascistic to QAnonesque.

On the Sunday earlier than Election Day, an apoplectic girl exclaims to Radio Mambí weekend present host Dr. Gustavo León that Democrats are amongst “esa gente”—“these individuals”— who wish to “dominate the world,” “who eat youngsters,” “who wish to go legal guidelines in order that adults can have intercourse with youngsters,” that these evils resulted from of an absence of “love of God” and “as a result of we’re serious about stupidities!” León lets the caller rant for an additional minute till the connection is misplaced, then notes how emotional she was.

A male caller, whereas contemplating with the host the “appropriate” response to the Democratic Get together-led globalist communist agenda, gushes: “I give a lot because of a gentleman named Augusto Pinochet, who ripped communism out from the roots!” The host enthusiastically concurs.

There is no such thing as a point out of the deaths of greater than 2100 individuals, based on an official depend of the anti-communist persecution that adopted Common Pinochet’s 1973 violent overthrow of democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende. No point out of the 1976 assassination by automotive bomb in Washington, D.C. of Allende’s U.S. ambassador Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt, his American colleague on the Institute for Coverage Research, nor of how the FBI implicated Cuban exiles from the terrorist Omega 7 group within the assault.

November 2020. Throughout an Election Day interview with Radio Mambi’s longtime midafternoon host Ninoska Perez-Castellón, Sen. Marco Rubio concedes that Biden and Harris aren’t socialists however should “keep quiet or cooperate with socialists inside their get together,” and would definitely have “compassion” for “leftist” entities world wide if elected. Biden plans to enter negotiations with socialist regimes in Havana and Caracas, Rubio assures, and leftist “components” of the “Democratic coalition” in the US “have been burning cities for weeks and months.” His phrases mesh cleverly with the worldwide communist conspiracy story, although (as will turn out to be clear in coming months) he loses factors amongst some listeners for not outrightly denouncing Biden and Harris as communists.

TRUMP LOSES, THE BIG LIE BEGINS

After Trump’s loss, Mambí hosts start blasting his astounding stolen election deceive their listeners throughout South Florida and bolstering different delusional beliefs, as an example, that communists controlling the U.S. information media have been suppressing the true election outcomes.

“I’m an aged particular person, and this time it’s essentially the most much like when Castro triumphed in Cuba, once they eradicated communication, all of the newspapers had been censored and closed,” a feminine caller exclaims to Perez-Castellón on her present per week after the election.

The host replies, “That is the half that’s the most tough for the common American and above all of the Cuban-American to know: Why is there censorship?”

“Precisely!” the caller shouts. “Even the tv is saying that Biden is profitable for president!”

Perez-Castellón and different hosts additionally encourage notions about extrajudicial choices if Trump’s authorized challenges don’t prevail. On November 13, a male caller attests, “We’re right here supporting our president, and we veterans are right here ready for something.” Perez-Castellón enthusiastically thanks the veteran for his name and takes the subsequent one.

December 2020. Perez-Castellón and different hosts proceed to indulge listener hysteria over Trump’s loss and gasoline hopes that if not Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell then definitely the U.S. Supreme Courtroom will ship Trump a second time period in workplace.

‘DOG WHISTLE TALK’

January 2021. Weeks of anti-Democrat bluster from Trump, Republican members of Congress, pro-Trump militant teams (and media retailers equivalent to Fox Information and Radio Mambí) culminate on the January 6 Cease the Steal rally, then morph into lethal mob violence on the U.S. Capitol by a number of thousand aggrieved Trump followers. Among the many Capital attackers are former and energetic navy members, together with a retired Military captain from Miami.

Hosts and callers on Radio Mambí recommend—some are sure—that “antifa” and Black Lives Matter adherents, not pro-Trump teams, had been behind the riot on the U.S. Capitol. Callers and hosts concur that Speaker of the Home Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Capitol police should have conspired to create the riot in a scheme to impugn and impeach Trump.

The New York Occasions stories that an government vice chairman at Cumulus Media, which operates about 400 English-talk radio stations throughout the nation, despatched a memo to its broadcast employees instructing them to chorus from “dog-whistle discuss ‘stolen election’ or ‘civil warfare’ or another language that infers violent public disobedience is warranted, “ever” and to induce “peace and order.” In the meantime, hosts at Mambí, with the assistance of a seemingly countless queue of aggrieved callers, amp up the anti-Democrat rage and fail to dispel speak selling violence.

February 2021. With Biden and Harris now occupying the White Home, the torrent of fantastical claims and insults on Radio Mambi intensifies. Donald Trump “gained by a large margin.” “Barack Hussein Obama” engineered the stolen election. “The Dominion voting machines falsified the vote depend.” “We’ve got to get rid of voting machines!” The FBI and U.S. Justice Division “haven’t any credibility on election integrity or the rest.” “The U.S. intelligence businesses are the most important traitors of all.” “The American press is communist” and manipulated details about the election outcomes. The press hid the true reason for George Floyd’s loss of life: covid-19 and narcotics. Or: Anarchists colluding with Democrats deliberate Floyd’s homicide with a view to “destroy the US.” “Racism in opposition to blacks not exists.” Concern about such racism is a Democratic Get together ploy “to win votes from gullible individuals.” Biden has “psychological issues.”

“How lengthy do we’ve got to be placing up with these communists? As a result of it’s a must to name them communists. Neglect Democrat. Comunista! Like that, good and clear,” a male caller sneers to Lourdes D’Kendall, host of Radio Mamb’ís midmorning present “En mi opinión” in early February 2021.

“Sure, however we additionally need to watch out. Not all who’re Democrats are communists,” the host replies. “Some are, however not all.”

A couple of days later, Perez-Castellón assuages a calmer listener, “Nobody goes to vary your thoughts that you simply really feel that the election was fraudulent.”

SATAN’S ‘REIGN’ OF BLOOD

March 15. “The Structure says clearly within the Second Modification which you can defend your self from a authorities that’s turning into a dictatorship,” D’Kendall guarantees listeners. “As a result of the day that this converts to a dictatorship, the promised land is completed.” The dictatorship isn’t right here but however “virtually,” she provides.                                                                       

Could 10. Police allowed the mob into the Capitol on January 6 as a part of a “farce” engineered by the forces of “globalismo,” a feminine caller explains to D’Kendall. “Sure, Devil promised to reign with blood and penetrate establishments which can be sacred for us, just like the FBI, the CIA, the Military and Navy, and the governments!” the caller says, yelling. “However these of us with the Lord’s religion can march and present our discontent. I’ve little doubt in my coronary heart that the Lord is with all of us who love the reality and defend freedom, and we’re going to realize it. Sure, with blood!”

D’Kendall thanks her for the decision.

Could 21. Echoing different listeners, a annoyed caller reiterates to D’Kendall that Miami’s three Cuban-American U.S. Home members (Diaz-Balart, Gimenez, and Salazar) are “traitors” for voting twice with Democrats in February—to take away Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments and to retain Trump critic Liz Cheney in her GOP management submit. “If solely we might clone Marjorie Taylor Greene!” says Lourdes D’Kendall.

June 2. The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald publicize “Disinformation in Miami After the Capitol Rebel” a examine by a number of public curiosity teams of baseless claims aired by Radio Mambí and one other Spanish-language AM station within the week after the January 6 pro-Trump riot on the Capitol. Univision spokespersons ignore the Herald’s requests for remark. On the air, Radio Mambí hosts slam the report as an effort by Democrats “to silence us.”

A ‘HERO’ KILLER’S RETURN

June 25. The Miami homecoming of Eduardo Arocena, the ailing 77-year-old founding father of the lengthy defunct Omega 7 anti-Castro group, prompts a wave of listeners to name and categorical their pleasure on the air. Federal jail authorities freed Arocena from a life time period for the 1979 machine-gun homicide in New Jersey of Eulalio Jose Negrin, director of a Weehauken refugee heart and member of the Committee of 75, an exile group led by banker Bernardo Benes that negotiated with the Castro regime and gained the discharge of some 3,000 political prisoners in Cuba in 1978; for a botched automotive bomb try in Manhattan on Cuba’s U.N. ambassador adopted by the machine-gun homicide in Queens of Felix Garcia Rodriguez, an attaché at Cuba’s U.N. mission in 1980; and for dozens of terrorist bombings round New York Metropolis (Avery Fischer Corridor, Madison Sq. Backyard, JFK Worldwide Airport) focusing on musicians and dancers from Cuba and air commerce with the island. At his trial in 1984, Arocena testified that communists needs to be “executed.”

“He’s a hero,” a feminine caller says to Nelson Rubio, host of Radio Mambí’s “Línea Directa” (“Direct Line”), a morning call-in present. Rubio conducts a phone interview with Arocena’s spouse Miriam who speaks emotionally about how grateful she is to have her husband house. When the host suggests she have to be offended at somebody, Miriam Arocena replies, “I don’t have rancor in direction of anybody.”

After the interview, Nelson Rubio rapidly shifts the tone. “There needs to be rancor,” he proclaims and launches right into a jumbled rant hinting that retribution in opposition to somebody is so as. “As a Cuban, I do know who my enemies are,” he says then vaguely blames the “injustice” that despatched “Eduardo” to jail on “cowards” who had “remained silent.” “There are issues that may’t be pardoned,” he concludes. Unmentioned by Rubio: different exile militants testified in opposition to Arocena, and Arocena confessed to FBI brokers.

July 2021. Radio Mambí’s response to the Sunday July 11, 2021 mass avenue demonstrations throughout Cuba – a principally peaceable explosion of frustration over political repression, blackouts, inflation, shortages of meals, primary items, and covid-19 vaccines, and different failings of the socialist financial system – is saturated with vengeful fantasies of violence. Whereas the protests in Cuba are principally nonviolent, journalists report that some protesters looted meals shops, vandalized of police vehicles, and attacked a police station, the place one protester is killed. In accordance with information stories, pro-government civilians joined police in assaulting peaceable marchers. 

Mambí hosts rush to their studios, preempting Sunday night music programming, and marvel on the extent of the protests. They denounce the “stupidity” and “foolishness” of the “murderers” within the Havana regime. They interview demonstrators in Cuba by telephone and promote native demonstrations in Miami to specific solidarity with protesters on the island.

HOST NELSON RUBIO WHIPS ‘EM UP

July 13. Nelson Rubio drops anti-Biden canards into his rants concerning the police crackdown in opposition to protesters in Cuba, drawing parallels between Biden and Fidel Castro. The host asks listeners to think about how the rebellion would have transpired if the demonstrators carried weapons. “If the Cuban individuals had weapons, it might be totally different,” he notes, then maintains that “the very first thing” the Castro regime did in 1959 was confiscate weapons. He provides that “many Democrats, together with Biden” are utilizing “this invention about crime or no matter” to “do away with the Second Modification and take weapons away from individuals.”

All week livid callers demand navy motion in opposition to Cuba, some hosts concurring, others merely thanking them for his or her calls. Some callers suggest particular methods, equivalent to establishing a naval and air blockade, bombing Cuban navy installations from U.S. warships, staging a full-on offensive with land forces. Hosts and callers repeatedly invoke President Kennedy’s “betrayal” of the exile troopers of Brigade 2506 by withholding air cowl throughout their catastrophic try and overthrow the Castro-led authorities within the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.

July 17. Radio Mambí has arrange a stay distant from Lafayette Park throughout from the White Home to cowl demonstrators demanding U.S. navy intervention in Cuba. Round 1:00 p.m. Nelson Rubio places a microphone on a male protester who’s shouting by way of a loudspeaker. “The pinnacle of the snake needs to be reduce off in order that communism in our area dies!” the protester declares in Spanish, then shifts to English: “President Biden, the Cuban individuals wants [sic] your assist. We’d like assist. We’re struggling. They’re killing our countrymen in Cuba! Our countrymen are in Cuba preventing the police with sticks and stones! They’re killing our individuals. They’re kidnapping youngsters out of their properties!”

Amnesty Worldwide later reported that “Cuban authorities arbitrarily detained tons of of individuals” for involvement within the July 11 protests, together with “some youngsters.” Credible information businesses have put the variety of deaths at one—a protester who died in a conflict with police.

Nelson Rubio stories stay that the gang of “tons of” is now chanting “Intervención!” then deftly advert libs a promotional plug that “Radio Mambí is the station of the Cuban exile, the station of the individuals of Miami.” Moments later one other chant is heard – ASESINO! ASESINO! ASESINO! (MURDERER! MURDERER! MURDERER!) – this one directed towards Cuba’s president, Miguel Diaz-Canel.

At 5 p.m., Nelson Rubio is ad-libbing from Lafayette Park, interviewing excited protesters. A younger girl tells him in Spanish, “We’re right here to help the Cuban individuals. We’re one. We’re united. They don’t want vaccines, they don’t want meals. They want freedom. Freedom now! And navy intervention!”

NELSON RUBIO’S MORBID COUNSEL

July 19. Nelson Rubio presents some morbid recommendation relating to the struggle forward for the “younger individuals” protesting the dictatorial regime in Havana. “You must destroy issues the place it hurts them!” he explains. “They aren’t going to have the ability to kill all of the individuals. They aren’t going to have the ability to kill an entire nation. And there’s a actuality. Lamentably, there are going to be victims. The identical if there have been an intervention—there are going to be victims. There are going to be. As a result of you would need to have them with a view to take that nation, to have the ability to do all the pieces.”

In the course of the present Rubio endorses beating up suspected collaborators of the Cuban authorities who’ve have infiltrated Miami. “The dictatorship has attacked my particular person, the dictatorship has snuck in these snitches which can be hiding right here among the many individuals,” he booms. “As a result of they know that earlier than jokes persons are going to present them two good kicks proper there, after which you’ll be able to think about what else.”

July 31. “INTERVENCION! INTERVENCION! INTERVENCION!” Nelson Rubio shouts right into a wi-fi microphone on stage, main a chanting crowd of about two thousand attending “ABAJO CADENAS!” (“DOWN WITH CHAINS!”) at Bayfront Park on downtown Miami’s waterfront. Many individuals within the crowd put on Cuban flags like capes, some clutching do-it-yourself indicators referring to Cuban president Diaz-Canel as an “ASESINO” (MURDERER), a “SAGAO” (sucker), a perpetrator of “GENOCIDIO” (genocide). Different signage calls for INTERVENCION MILITAR! and “S.O.S.” One has the phrase PAREDON! (FIRING SQUAD!) above an inventory of names: Raul Castro, Diaz-Canel, Nicolas Maduro, Daniel Ortega, and Vladimir Putin. One group is gathered beneath a big flag studying “FUCK BIDEN!” 

Deliberate and funded by the Metropolis of Miami and sponsored by Univision Radio, the occasion is billed as a “name for freedom of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.” The present is a five-hour marathon of fiery speeches interspersed with quick stay music performances.

August 2021. After “Down With Chains!” enthusiasm totally free Cuba or invade Cuba rallies fizzles in Miami and on the Radio Mambí airwaves. Mambí callers and hosts return to pre-July targets: corrupt Democrats, communist Democrats, their corrupt or leftist collaborators within the information media, Biden’s countless treachery or incompetence. The Democrats try to destroy the nation. Biden have to be court-martialed for the chaotic U.S. navy withdrawal from Afghanistan. Proud Boys chief Enrique Tarrio is “un prisionero político”— a political prisoner.

“Who’s going to take to the streets to say that Enrique Tarrio is a hero, the identical as they did with the prison George Floyd?” a feminine caller angrily exclaims to the “Línea Directa” host Nelson Rubio in late August. (Tarrio was then serving 5 months jail sentence for burning a D.C. church’s Black Lives Matter flag and stays in jail awaiting trial on conspiracy and sedition prices for the January 6 Capitol rebellion).

“Good level,” Nelson Rubio emphasizes.

REP. DIAZ-BALART CALLS BIDEN ‘DANGEROUS’

September 1. Rep. Diaz-Balart, a frequent phone interviewee, tells Perez-Castellon that President Biden “is harmful” and that “the choice of this man” to withdraw from Afghanistan will trigger the deaths of “hundreds of Afghans” and struggling of Afghan women and girls. “Both he did it to assist the terrorists or he’s extremely subnormal,” Diaz-Balart says. The congressman claims that the exile group “has by no means been confused,” “by no means makes a mistake,” and should assist “get up the remainder of the nation” that “socialism is harmful.” “That nightmare entered Venezuela by way of a democratic course of! And due to that, those that suppose it [socialism] can’t occur right here need to get up!”

September 8. A male caller tells Perez-Castellón, “It’s a disgrace, as a result of on November 4 we wanted the navy,” referring to the day after the 2020 election, which he’s positive Trump gained. She tells the caller the U.S. Structure doesn’t permit for the U.S. navy to take over the civilian authorities, however the host stays mum on the caller’s perception that communist Democrats had orchestrated large election fraud.

Over the subsequent a number of months, enthusiasm continues amongst some Radio Mambí callers for violent treatments to their grievances. “Hay que hacer algo! (“One thing have to be finished!”) is a standard chorus, as are these: Biden’s vaccine mandates show he has dictatorial, Marxist tendencies. Biden and the Democrats are hypocrites as a result of freedom to refuse a covid vaccine is identical as freedom to endure an abortion. Not a single governmental motion has been constitutional because the fraudulent presidential election. Democrats are corrupt liars who used the coronavirus pandemic and different shenanigans to steal the 2020 presidential election with final assist from a now nugatory U.S. Supreme Courtroom. They’re working to show the US right into a one-party communist regime to be led within the close to future by Kamala Harris. They now management all three branches of the U.S. authorities. The American system of checks and balances is gone. The electoral system is completely fraudulent. Biden is an “imbecile” who needs to “disarm the nation” and “get rid of the Second Modification.”

2022

With the November 2022 midterms on the horizon, candidate appearances on Radio Mambí enhance in frequency, inflammatory assaults on Democrats intensify.

March 9. Rep. Salazar tells Línea Directa co-host Rodrigo Duran by way of phone that “contained in the Democratic Get together there are very Marxist individuals who detest the US, who contemplate that there needs to be a radical change in how this nation has been within the final 300 [sic] years.” She falsely claims President Biden hasn’t despatched weapons to Ukraine and that he “thought Putin wasn’t so dangerous” as a result of “within the State Division and within the White Home there are individuals who suppose very near the Marxists.”

Duran adjustments the topic, asking “on behalf of listeners” why she and her two Cuban-American Republican counterparts within the Home haven’t defended Governor Ron DeSantis extra. 

DIAZ-BALART OFF THE RAILS

Could 17. Rep. Diaz-Balart tells midafternoon host Ninoska Perez-Castellón in a phone interview that the Biden Administration’s Cuba coverage has “just one goal—to assist the regime in Havana.”

“The enemies of the US, the enemies of democracy, the enemies of freedom, the enemies of liberty are being helped, assisted, and financed by President Biden and people who encompass him. It’s not a shock. We warned of it earlier than the elections that this might occur by these self-titled progressives, communists, or socialists, and they’re doing it,” he says.

Perez-Castellón asks the congressman why the midterm elections in November are essential. Diaz-Balart replies, “The acute, excessive left controls all the ability in Washington, all the selections. We see what which means. We see inflation, we see the value of gasoline, we see shortage in supermarkets, we see what socialism achieves. That’s what socialism has at all times achieved, what this nation is reaching. As a result of one get together controls all the pieces. And this isn’t the standard Democratic Get together. This isn’t the voters within the streets which can be Democrats. That is the acute, excessive left. They self-title as progressives or socialists. We will name them communists.”

Could 24. Dania Alexandrino, a newly employed host filling the midmorning slot previously held by Lourdes D’Kendall (who died of most cancers in October 2021), explains that Biden started his time period with “a collection of cancellations” of the petroleum business and did so “to create a disaster with a view to obligate each American citizen to purchase an electrical automotive….As a result of the Democrats are specialists in making a disaster with a view to then promote you an answer.”

Democrats, she continues, are “creating the border disaster with malevolent, Machiavellian intention to vary the face of the American citizen over the long run and get rid of the white majority that the Democrats detest a lot.”

Thursday June 2. Throughout her present, Alexandrino says “the nationwide press and Democrats try to reap the benefits of the tragedy in Uvalde” however “none of them speak concerning the greater than 50 wounded and 9 killed this previous weekend additionally as a consequence of firearms. And you already know why they don’t discuss that? As a result of these are deaths from liberal firearms, they’re deaths ensuing from drug trafficking, they’re deaths which can be principally minorities however who died by the hands of different minorities. And since that doesn’t match into their narrative that the little whites (blanquitos) are those who wish to have their AR-15s, that’s the explanation they don’t discuss that.” 

RADIO MAMBÍ SALE STOKES ANGER

Friday June 3. In an article saying the sale of Radio Mambí, the Miami Herald quotes Latino Media Community cofounder Stephanie Valencia (a former White Home aide to President Barack Obama) as saying that below LMN administration Radio Mambí would proceed to advocate for a free Cuba but in addition show “journalistic integrity and steadiness.”

The information prompts pleasure in anti-disinformation circles, however based on a press launch, Latino Media Community and TelevisaUnivision agreed to a one-year transition interval for the switch of Radio Mambí and the 17 different radio stations within the deal. Which means Radio Mambí will probably proceed to inflame and misinform listeners not just for the 2022 midterm elections however effectively into the 2024 presidential election cycle.

A direct assault in opposition to our religion!” She ends the present with a reference to the sale, exclaiming, “Radio Mambí libre! Free Radio Mambí!”

June 7. Responding to the information that TelevisaUnivision has offered Radio Mambí to a media startup run by Democrats with financing from a George Soros firm, Línea Directa listeners name to specific outrage concerning the sale and to reward Nelson Rubio and different Radio Mambí hosts for his or her journalism. Nelson Rubio tells listeners it’s “time to placed on the pants and demand as needs to be finished,” apparently that means demand that the FCC reject the sale. “The entire journalists of this station have stated this: The day they arrive to inform us [to leave], we depart. And I’m positive there shall be one other place for us,” Rubio continues. “However at this time Radio Mambí is alive and we’ve got to be right here and we’ve got to proceed to defend our place and never change a bit (ni un ápice). So easy.”

June 8. Alexandrino fulminates about assaults by the nationwide press “in opposition to our ideas, in opposition to our values, in opposition to the establishment of the household, in opposition to the Structure, in opposition to the patriarchy. And in opposition to our religion. Properly, girls and gents. It’s not solely right here. No person has talked about an assault on a Catholic church in Nigeria the place 50 individuals died in the course of mass. Sure. An assault. The place they entered and shot and in addition set off explosives. Ah. However look, when two years in the past in New Zealand there was an assault by a madman who they tried to stay with gum to Donald Trump, the place I believe 17 died or one thing like that, everybody was speaking about that, everybody within the nationwide press was speaking about that. However now, when it’s about an assault on Christians, no one talks about that.”

(The Related Press, Reuters, The New York Occasions, Wall Avenue Journal, CNN, NPR, Bloomberg, the Guardian, Al Jazeera, and plenty of different information retailers reported on the church bloodbath in Owo, Nigeria.)

DANIA ALEXANDRIO: MINOR CRIMES AT THE CAPITOL

June 17. Dania Alexandrino says a lot of the January 6 rioters on the U.S. Capitol dedicated minor crimes and that Democrats accuse Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio of being a white supremacist regardless that he’s blacker than me (“mas negrito que yo”). She makes no point out that Democrats and Republicans on the Home choose committee investigating the January 6 riot additionally accuse Tarrio and different Proud Boys of conspiring to advertise the rebellion into the U.S. Capitol. Alexandrino reiterates her notion that “The USA is just not a democracy” however moderately “a constitutional republic,” as if a constitutional republic and a democracy are mutually unique.

June 20. A male caller on Línea Directa tells Nelson Rubio that “it’s clearer than water” that Dominion voting machines are chargeable for Colombia Humana candidate Gustavo Petro’s win in Colombia’s June 19 runoff presidential election. The caller says that “Cuban authorities safety, the canines of Cuban safety, penetrated Colombia a very long time in the past, when [Enrique] Santos [was president]. They usually’ve had all of the bases created to do that fraud that they did with Dominion.” He says he has little doubt leftists will commit the identical fraud once more within the U.S. Rubio concurs.

June 21. Dania Alexandrino warns Democrats, singling out some by identify as “idiots” and “low cost politicos within the nationwide press” who function “cheerleaders” for the Democratic Get together, that “in the event you all proceed along with your stupidities and enjoying with phrases to govern helpful idiots, know that I’m going to maintain elevating my military to be volunteers to maintain you from persevering with to implement your tips to steal the elections. Sure, I stated it!”

She fulminates bizarrely for an additional minute saying that elite Democrats have determined “to destroy our nation,” taken management of the media “to spice up propaganda,” “have infiltrated all of the essential branches of the federal government,” and are “raping the vote.”

The FCC’s evaluation of the TelevisaUnivision-LMN radio sale is anticipated to take a number of months. However with Radio Mambí below unprecedented media scrutiny, will TelevisaUnivision information executives proceed to abide the absence of balanced, fact-based journalism at their inflammatory pro-Trump disinformation station? Sadly, reporters must keep tuned.
