Former Univision president bashes network for hosting Trump 'propaganda' town hall

The former president of Univions and Telemundo took his former network to task on Thursday morning for taking part in a town hall with Donald Trump where the former president was allowed to glibly brush away Latino voters' concerns with little push back.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Joaquin Blaya compared the Trump town hall to what one might see on Fox News and labeled it as nothing more than an "infomericial" where the audience was brought in as "props."

Getting right into it, he complained, "He [Trump] went onto recite his concert of lies without any journalism integrity on the part of the network, without any fact-checking."

"So he spoke uninterrupted saying many of the things we have seen him say for the last few months, but some of the things he has been saying in the last few months which are very relevant to Hispanics, were not brought up," he added. "For example, that we are poisoning the blood of this country. That we includes me and my family."

He accused, "He is working on the largest deportation project in American history where he is planning to raid and put in camps millions of people. Obviously he went on talking about the Haitians in Springfield, legal citizens of this country which were invited by that city to help provide services and jobs. It goes on and on."

"I think you have covered this subject at length this morning," he added. "The question here is Univision did not distinguish themselves as being a true news organization. And served as a platform for close to an hour of his continuing recital of lies."

He then singled out the town hall moderator, telling the MSNBC host, "I cannot respond for the network, but the person that was conducting the –– let's call it the town hall –– was the same person that did what I call a propaganda project. The main anchor of the Univision network is Jorge Ramos, one of the most respected journalists in America. You would have thought that Jorge would have to be the person doing the interview and the town hall. Yet they, again, decided to put on someone that they brought from Mexico, and the results are what you saw last night where they allow Trump to go freely reciting his traditional list of lies."

'That was the mask coming down': Kamala Harris said to have exposed Fox News in real-time

According to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, Vice President Kamala Harris did serious damage to the already shaky reputation of Fox News when she busted Fox personality Bret Baier for running a deceptive clip of Donald Trump.

In a highly scrutinized segment, Trump's "enemy within" attack on his critics came up, and the Fox interviewer shared a clip of the former president blowing it off and turning himself into a victim of persecution that led Harris to rebuke him with "That's not what you just showed."

She then added, "Here’s the bottom line, he has repeated it many times, and you and I both know that. And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military against the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest.”

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday morning, former U.S. Naval War College professor and current Atlantic columnist Tom Nichols expressed his dismay with the MAGA supporters of Donald Trump for not taking American elections seriously.

According to the conservative writer, Trump's fans are more invested in being entertained than they are in seeing the lives bettered and are happy to gloss over the fact that he is increasingly "unstable."

Speaking with the "Morning Joe" hosts, he was asked why the election is still "neck and neck" with Vice President Kamala Harris in the polls.

"You know, it's such a sad question because I think the answer is that, over the past 30, 40 years, there are millions of people who just stopped taking elections seriously," he grimly admitted.

"There are millions of people who think that what they really want is to renew four years of the Donald Trump show," he elaborated. "They know he's unstable, they know he's weird, they know that he's losing it. "That's part of his appeal to them -- that he's interesting. It's fun."

"I think the other thing we really have to understand is that, you know, we talk about polarization, but this is more than polarization," he added. "This is 60, 70 million people saying, the worse Donald Trump gets, the better. Then, when he is elected, that's really going to discomfort and aggravate and frighten, you know, the other 100 million people in America."

"Every time I look at this election, I think of the Trump voter some years ago who criticized Trump by saying he's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting," he recalled.
