Telemundo sells out to Comcast?
We, social critics, have long noted the Hispano-trash that is transmitted by mega corporations over cable, broadcast and radio. The main topics at Univision seems to be breasts and celebrities, and its served up by people looking whiter than the journalists at CNN.
They have become much slicker at masking their racism. The other day, I heard one of them condemning a lady’s hair do for looking too much “al estilo Benito Juarez.” Translation for the mentally conquered—look anything but Indian.
I think TV Azteca did a good job of trying to be decent when they first came on, but most of their decency has long passed. I don’t think Hispano-trash television can get much worse, but it might just get more brainwashy after all. Fíjate lo que dice Ernesto Aguilar on his latest post about Telemundo being swallowed by Comcast.
NBC Universal owns 27 broadcast television stations, many of them Telemundo affiliates. Since Comcast already provides cable and internet service in Houston, this would mean that one company will control content online, on cable and over the airwaves. This is unprecedented.
The Comcast-NBC Universal/Telemundo merger also reflects a reduction of choices in Spanish-language media. Houston’s Latino community is not served well when megacorporations control access to consumers and potentially strong-arming other Spanish-language channels out of the market.

I enjoy your articles very much because they are published in an understandable perspicuous. So I can read them although I come from Austria and have some troubles to translate English articles.
