Would Univision try Blackmailing Donald Trump?

Would Univision try Blackmailing Donald Trump? By Humberto Fontova 8/28/2015

A long time ago in a place far, far away the same Univision who boasts Jorge Ramos as their “Walter Cronkite” tried blackmailing Senator Marco Rubio into an interview.

Seems strange, no?

Well, during that long ago era (2011) and in that far-away place, Senator Rubio’s position regarding illegal immigrants was widely perceived as pretty close to Trump’s today. Hence the long ago and far away description—and hence the blackmail attempt by America’s top media proponent of illegal immigration.

Univision is the biggest Spanish-language network in the U.S., reaching thirteen and a half million households, (95 percent of the “Hispanic” total) making it 5th biggest in the U.S. Mexican-Americans make up most of its viewers so the network’s editorial tone essentially echoes that of the Democratic-controlled Hispanic Congressional Caucus.

Univision’s owner is actually an Egyptian-born Israeli-American named Haim Saban, who ranks among the Democratic party’s most lavish benefactors "I don't say this lightly," said Democratic National Committee head Terry McAuliffe back in 2007, "Haim Saban saved the Democratic Party." Saban is also a major financier of The Clinton Foundation, contributing between $10 million-$25 million recently.

Back in July 2011, Senator Rubio was asked to appear on the network’s top show, Al Punto, for an interview with Jorge Ramos, who at the time was hailed as “the Brian Williams of Hispanic TV” by AdAge. (Ha-ha! Yes--in that long ago and far away time and place being equated with Brian Williams was a compliment!)

The rest of the history

I think they have it backwards. Trump is suing Univision for $500 million for breach of contract. He is holding if over their heads like the sword of Damocles.

I’m sure Ramos starts each broadcast when he gets to American politics divulging his family participation within the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Ask Hillary to see the Emails Jorge.

Adios!

Oh! Please do it. Please go ahead and blackmail. This will shed more light on Ramos than on Trump.

Whatever other reservations I have about Trump, I don’t think he can be “blackmailed” by Univision. What are they going to threaten to do, withdraw from his beauty pageant or say bad things about him?

Ramos is still the Brian Williams of Spanish language TV.

So I guess he really appreciated that the Kenyan in the White House supported terrorists taking over Egypt and that's he is now in the process of supplying nukes to psychopaths hellbent on using them on Israel. This Haim Saban guy seems like yet another example that liberalism is a mental disorder.

ROFLMAO....your serious right????

Oh I would love to see Trump come out on this one:

He would go to the American People and let it all out...from the White Hut, Oval Office, on thru down the government, then start on Mexico, China, Russia, Japan, Cuba....and that would mean that old saying: “It's all over,but the crying...’ and it wouldn't be Trump or his supporters crying, we would be yelling, clapping, stomping our feet, singing and just plain feel what Freedom used to feel like!!!

Trump/Cruz 2016!!! Attorney General Trey Gowdy!!!

Definitey. When they killed the Miss Universe Contest after signing the deal, they are in breach of contract. Univision won’t be threatening the Donald. It’s the other way around.

I wonder if he supports similar Immigration policies for Israel?

I hope none of Donald’s enemies ever stayed at a Trump property with any ‘shenanigans’... shoe will be on other foot.

Politics *still* ain’t beanbag.

“Would Univision try Blackmailing Donald Trump?”.

Univision be careful, Trump may buy them and fire the entire lot. He has such experience and also has a law suit against Univision. Don’t mess with The Donald.

Since he has a 500 million dollar lawsuit on them and if at the same time they tried to blackmail him, I have a good feeling Donald would be able to record it and use it against them. They would be forced to pay the 500 mil, and maybe more for damages. His poll numbers would go up another 10%.

Article seems to be more an indictment of Rubio and hammers home the fact that current politicians have been corrupted and need to be swept away.
