Soros takeover: FCC clears path for liberal group to buy Spanish-language conservative talk radio stations

A liberal group linked to billionaire George Soros has been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to purchase Spanish-language radio stations throughout the country, rekindling concerns that a "radical political agenda" will influence information provided to Hispanic voters.

Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk radio station Radio Mambi is one of the 18 stations the Soros-backed Latino Media Network will purchase from Televisa Univision for a reported $60 million. Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and offers an anti-communism view, will be controlled by liberals once the deal is finalized.

Latino Media Network, which is partially financed by an investment group affiliated with Soros Fund Management, is controlled by Jess Morales Rocketto, a former Hillary for America and AFL-CIO employee, and former Obama White House staffer Stephanie Valencia.

The FCC rejected a petition to block the proposed sale.

"We have reviewed the applications and find that Univision is qualified to assign, and LMN is qualified to hold, the licenses for the stations," FCC Audio Division chief Albert Shuldiner said in a decision released on Monday and first reported by Inside Radio.

Spanish-language stations in other major markets, including New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Antonio are also set to be controlled by the Soros-linked group. Some conservatives, particularly right-leaning Hispanics, have called it an attempt by the left to control the information made available to Spanish-speaking voters.

Radio Mambi staffers have been furious for months, and some of the station’s biggest stars walked away before the FCC even paved way for the deal to happen. Conservative host Lourdes Ubieta quit in July, saying she would never accept a paycheck from anyone connected to Soros.

Buying them up eh? So then let’s build media platforms that can’t be bought up or de-monetized, because it’s purely open source right from the outset.

That’s how you solve this problem.

Air America was catering to the Caucasians mostly. The ones Soros bought and will run will cater to gullible Spanish-speaking voting block…that my friends is not good. Will it be successful? You betcha! Look at Telemundo and Univision when they started. I thought it wouldn’t break 100 people now it’s the most watched influential Spanish stations in America. The stations are very pro communist and very much pro immigration. You should see the stuff they put on the TV airwaves. Don’t be fooled and poo poo it…soros has just won the golden ring of all the Hispanics Spanish stations BIG TIME! Someone got paid under the table that’s all I’m saying. Corrupt pieces of crap! So sick of our freaking government selling America to the highest bidder!!
