Media Trying to Decipher the Nevada Hispanic Vote Strikes a Raw Nerve with Latino Community (Latina Lista)

But getting back to Dr. McCain’s premise that Latinos will vote for Clinton because she’s white strikes a nerve with many Latinos/as who feel that corporate-owned media (a.k.a. mainstream media) is already trying to create/intensify tension between blacks and Latinos.

Given the fact that it’s basically white political pundits who love to talk this up and can make an hour-long show out of the topic, illustrates how little they care to know Latinos in the first place. A fact that is painfully obvious when they only feature white “political analysts.”

Why is it that white pundits are tapped by cable and network news shows to analyze the Latino and Black vote but pundits of color are hardly ever given the opportunity to do the same?”*
