he WikiLeaks dump of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails has revealed the broad extent of behind-the-scenes collaboration with Haim Saban, the Hollywood billionaire who controls Univision, the country’s largest Spanish-language TV network.

Mr. Saban is not just one of the top moneymen behind Hillary Clinton’s run, the Univision chairman of the board is also a trusted adviser, message strategist and operative for her presidential campaign, the emails confirm.

The frequent email exchanges reveal that Mr. Saban, who is Israeli-American and not Hispanic, was at the forefront of the push inside Camp Clinton to pound Republican candidate Donald Trump for his stance against illegal immigration and comments about Mexican criminals — a message echoed in Univision news coverage.

Shortly after Mr. Trump announced his run in June 2015, pledging to build a border wall and accusing Mexico of exporting criminals and rapists, Mr. Saban was on the phone with Mr. Podesta plotting strategy.

“Haim thinks we are under reacting to Trump/Hispanics. Thinks we can get something by standing up for Latinos or attacking R’s for not condemning,” Mr. Podesta said in an email to his campaign colleagues.

“Haim is right — we should be jamming this all the time,”

At Univision, news anchor Jorge Ramos became a chief antagonist of Mr. Trump, challenging his illegal immigration policies as un-American at press conferences and from the anchor desk.

Beyond blurring the lines between news and advocacy, Mr. Saban’s prominent role inside the Clinton campaign demonstrated how wealthy donors can buy a seat at the table.

John..what is the matter with you & the conflations?

Clinton secrecy/corruption has what to do with CU? ( nothing)

I don't "shill" for Cu -I ask what is the Constitutional replacement? - it's obvious that all attempt at campaign finance limits
are eventually going to be overturned -Mccain/Feingold -all of them have been.

Short of a Constitutional amendment, or public financing of elections. it is what it is.
Count me in on either choice
 
"Right. But you consistently shill for Citizens United. You're running in circles."



It's about the message, not the messenger.

We're all putting up articles along with a source. There would be no forums anywhere without messages. Separate from that, there are also personal opinions where of course there's plenty of room for disagreement with any individual poster.

This whole "pay to play" nonsense is just one of the unintended consequences of Citizens United, isn't it?

Funny how when corporations were "letting their voices be heard" for Republicans and their causes, it didn't seem to matter.

If you don't understand the problems with secret money, then you don't understand the problem with C.U.

are you talking foreign money?
That's rich considering rthe Clinton Foundation's extensive pay for play from foreign donors.

But it would help if you made a coherent statement, instead of oblique references..

again CU isn't ideal -but it's Constitutional whereas other limits on "Money=political speech" are not.
