Democratic Presidential Wannabes (minus 1) Throw Latinos a few Bones » VivirLatino

“Tonight’s historic Spanish language presidential candidate forum sponsored by Univision, shown on Univision, and conducted by Univision news people, presented some dead on target questions but did it help Latino voters decide who they should choose? As an educated Latina voter, the forum helped solidify some of the nuanced differences between those running but it sure didn’t make me want to run to the polls.

Primero, I have to call Univision out on their almost dictatorial control they need to have on events they sponsor. Why weren’t other Latino journalists from outside the Univision school invited to question candidates? Why weren’t Latino bloggers and other new media invited to participate the way bloggers participated in the Democratic All American Forum and will participate in the Republican All American Forum? I think Univision missed the ball here in reaching young Latino voters.”
