MSNBC rushed to the defense of a George-Soros-linked group that is set to
takeover Miamis iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk radio station
Radio Mambi.
The formation of the Latino Media Network, a new network set to be made up
of 18 Hispanic radio stations including Miamis conservative Radio Mambi,
was partially financed by Lakestar Finance, an investment group affiliated
with Soros Fund Management. The stations, currently owned by Univision,
would be controlled by Jess Morales Rocketto, a former Hillary for America
and AFL-CIO employee, and Stephanie Valencia, a former Obama White House
staffer, if the venture receives Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
approval.
Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and
offers an anti-communism view, would be controlled by a group of liberals
partially funded by Soros, a far-left billionaire, if the $60 million deal
is approved. The potential takeover has been called an attempt to control
"the flow of information to a specific community for political purposes,"
and conservative Radio Mambi staffers are outraged.
There have been protests throughout the Miami area, local South Florida
politicians have spoken out and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., criticized the
deal. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted, "The Soros-funded
radical Left is running a scheme to manipulate local media in Florida to
push their Marxist agenda on voters."
However, MSNBC columnist Julio Ricardo Varela downplayed the looming
takeover in a Sunday piece headlined, "The buyers of this talk radio
station promise 'journalistic integrity.' Conservatives are scared."
DESANTIS CAMPAIGN HITS BACK AT SOROS-FUNDED ELECTION 'MANIPULATION' WITH
AD BUY ON HISPANIC RADIO NETWORK
"There is speculation however, mostly fueled by conservative Latinos, that
because Valencia worked in the Obama administration and Morales Rocketto
worked on Clintons and Obamas presidential campaigns, their radio
network will be a Latino mouthpiece of the Democratic Party," Varela
wrote.
"Those critics are especially concerned because one of the radio stations
the Latino Media Network is acquiring is Miamis Radio Mambí, which
prioritizes topics including Cuba and favors former President Donald
Trump," Varela continued. "The station, which its critics accuse of
pushing right-wing and sometimes racist disinformation, has been a
darling of the Latino right for years. Now that its owned by a pair who
favor Democratic causes, conservatives fear the station will be the
darling of the Latino left."
The MSNBC column noted that Valencia has insisted she wont change Radio
Mambi, but staffers inside the building disagree.
GEORGE SOROS THROWS $1M BEHIND STACEY ABRAMS' SECOND GUBERNATORIAL RUN
"Nobody believes her," a Radio Mambi insider who recently attended an all-
hands meeting with Valencia told Fox News Digital. "Honestly, they really
believe we are stupid."
The MSNBC column also echoes recent comments Valencia made to staffers
that attempt to downplay Soros involvement, saying he is "merely one of
the investors" in the project who "has no influence on the editorial line
of any of our stations."
But critics disagree and Media Research Center director of MRC Latino
Jorge Bonilla blasted the move as a power grab by the left.
"This is about power, this is about control. This is not about free
speech. This is not about this misinformation. This is about controlling
the flow of information to a specific community for political purposes,
and that is what makes this deal, I think, so controversial," Bonilla told
Fox News Digital.

The MSNBC piece concluded by noting that such a "historic announcement
from two prominent Latina Democrats has caused political ripples that are
rarely seen."
"Its no wonder Valencia and Morales Rocketto are already feeling the heat
from conservative Latinos who have rarely been challenged as well as
conservative lawmakers like DeSantis and Rubio who depend on their
support," MSNBCs Varela wrote. "Perhaps the kind of disruption Valencia
and Morales Rocketto are providing is exactly the kind of disruption the
market needs."
Bonilla feels that liberals controlling Radio Mambi would be a significant
factor in the 2024 presidential election, as the Hispanic community
doesnt have many well-established conservative media options. Florida's
shift to the right in the past two presidential elections has mirrored an
increase in Latino support for Republicans former President Trump
comfortably carried Florida in 2020 over Biden, in part by making major
gains in Miami-Dade County with increased support from Cuban-Americans.
