Clinton Campaign, Univision Teamed Up To Trash Trump, WikiLeaks Emails Reveal
By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - October 20, 2016 The WikiLeaks dump of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails has revealed the broad extent of behind-the-scenes collaboration with Haim Saban, the Hollywood billionaire who controls Univision, the country’s largest Spanish-language TV network.
Mr. Saban is not just one of the top moneymen behind Hillary Clinton’s run, the Univision chairman of the board is also a trusted adviser, message strategist and operative for her presidential campaign, the emails confirm.
The frequent email exchanges reveal that Mr. Saban, who is Israeli-American and not Hispanic, was at the forefront of the push inside Camp Clinton to pound Republican candidate Donald Trump for his stance against illegal immigration and comments about Mexican criminals — a message echoed in Univision news coverage.
Shortly after Mr. Trump announced his run in June 2015, pledging to build a border wall and accusing Mexico of exporting criminals and rapists, Mr. Saban was on the phone with Mr. Podesta plotting strategy.
“Haim thinks we are under reacting to Trump/Hispanics. Thinks we can get something by standing up for Latinos or attacking R’s for not condemning,” Mr. Podesta said in an email to his campaign colleagues. “Haim is right — we should be jamming this all the time,” responded Jennifer Palmieri, director of communications for the Clinton campaign.
At Univision, news anchor Jorge Ramos became a chief antagonist of Mr. Trump, challenging his illegal immigration policies as un-American at press conferences and from the anchor desk.

This kind of stuff would have had you hanging in 1777
btt
let us talk about all the entities the clinton campaign is colluding with under the table, in the shadows with, to create false incidents to blame on trump, to steal the election, to control the media spin, to be fed questions for the debate and hve handsignals with the ‘unbiased’ moderators....
and the quid pro quo monies given to clinton from foreign governments.
============================================
He's a Hillary fanatic-----and Haim Saban has a non-profit..."The Saban Center". Saban subsidized a 34-page white paper titled, “Pathway to Coexistence: A New U.S. Policy toward Iran.”
NO CONCIDENCE The paper essentially forecasted Obama’s approach to dealing with Iran: (1) the largely hands-off approach to Iran’s bloody 2009 Green Revolution, and, (2) the present-day compromises on its nuclear program.
==============================================
The ties between the Clintons, Haim Saban, and Spanish TV television network---UNIVISION---run deep. Univision's newscasts gleefully bash Republicans and praise Hillary’s newly-minted position on immigration.
Network Owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into (surprise) a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation.
====================================================
NY POST EXCERPT---Saban's Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat. Univision’s owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks.
Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long- term debt.)
Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy Univision business: called free-to-air.
======================================
THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. (WIKI)
=====================================
WIKI--Saban became involved in politics in the mid- 1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]
Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23]
Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5]
Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24] During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23]
Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time. In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5]
In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Hillary Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20] In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27]
The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]
Haim Saban touts himself as a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry. He is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.

My wife keeps warning me, there is ZERO conservative represent up in the Latin media. Univision is the worst with their constant “Hillary is an angel who loves Latinos”. It’s constant and we could lose a massive portion of the population because of this.
Which is worse? Russia releasing emails about ‘democrat’ corruption and election rigging or the Mexicans flooding America with Xenos from all over the world to provide voters for the communist democrats? I’d say it’s the Mexicans, not Russia, who is interfering with our election.
