Univision's Attack on Donald Trump Backfires
http://newsbusters.org ^ | 6/29/2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/29/2015 9:33:43 AM PDT by dragnet2

The scene comes to mind with the news that Univision has abruptly told Donald Trump that they will no longer carry the Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant. Why? It seems that the network is displeased that in his announcement speech.

And while all this was going on? Univision anchorman Jorge Ramos sent a handwritten note to Trump asking - yes - for an interview. Or in other words? We’re going to break your contract and call you a racist but would you like to sit down for a chat?

So. As a result of Univision’s decidedly unthought-through stab at partisan politics they received in return

1) a lawsuit for breach of contract over the cancellation of the Miss Universe Pageant;

2) a lawsuit for defamation (the poster comparing Trump to the racist killer in Charleston;

3) its executives have been booted from the Trump golf course; 4) a once convivial agreement on building a gate between neighboring properties has been ordered closed;

5) there is now a demand for the resignation of the executive who posted the defaming poster;

6) the private letter revealing anchorman Ramos to be beseeching Trump for an interview has been publicly released; and…and 6;) Trump has received a boatload of priceless publicity that appears as his numbers surge in the polls.

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

It's just so refreshing to see some forceful unapologetic push back. Do you think the next time someone decides to go after Trump they might think twice?

What happens when you fight back. I would not vote from Trup as the nominee but would as candidate. If only other GOP candidates had his cajones.

I’ve watched some interviews he did. He’s a lot of things, but one thing he’s not is a politician, which is refreshing.

“Beaner” is just word according to George Carlin. For meaning, you need to add “context!” The context here is that Univision= A bunch of Culonas!

I’ve said this before, but while the Donald might not be the ultimate, bottom line candidate for a good number of us, I think there is that sort of thing to respect and admire about him. He is able to speak about things that are considered off limits for a lot of others, as he does not need the blue blooded donor money, with this whole thing involving Univision being a good example.

It’s important IMHO during this time to get behind others like Chick-Fil-A or Ben Jones (the Confederate flag issue) as part of standing up to this paternalistic, authoritarian soft-headedness from political and corporate and media elites.

No other person stands up to bullying like Trump is. The rest cave at the first harsh word from the left.

Sure would be nice to see a Spanish language network that isn’t in love with the left.

Because of the publicity, many people who wouldn't normally watch the pageant will now do so. More money for Trump's brand, more advertising for his success, probably more votes for Trump.

Standing firm has consequences....good ones.

Could you imagine a conservative Republican COTUS pushing back against SCOTUS and POTUS with this immediacy and firmness?

There’s a dream...

For that reason alone, I'd vote for him.

Why can't you folks who don't like Trump just sit back and enjoy the ride? He's going to up the competition in the Republican Party, make the establishment pols really work for those votes.

If some of the faves can't take the heat they probably wouldn't get elected anyway!

The establishment elite on the left and the establishment elite on the right want Trump to shut up because the voters are listening to him.

Because when he gets the nomination you’ll tell us “The tome to complain was a year ago and now we have to unite behind the liberal to beat the other liberal.”

Or does the truth bother you?

Because we aren’t “folks who don’t like Trump.”
We are people with a cohesive world view advancing what we believe. Trump is opposed to many of our firmest beliefs.
