The White Home’s celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility was an “English Solely” occasion, with no point out by any means on any of its Spanish-language social media platforms and feeds. A lot for range! However slightly than overlaying this shameless pander, the nation’s company Spanish-language media enabled it.
Watch as Univision’s morning anchor Satcha Pretto delivers a report on Transgender Day of Visibility…in Mexico Metropolis, as aired on Univision’s Despierta América on Monday, April 1st, 2024:
SATCHA PRETTO: And tons of of protesters marched within the Mexican capital. This, to commemorate the Worldwide Transgender Day of Visibility, and draw consideration to the discrimination they endure. Lots of them are members of the LGBTQ neighborhood and demand a legislation that protects their rights. And Mexico has recorded 4 murders of transgender folks to this point this yr.
Speak about misdirection. The networks, in an effort to preserve their Company Equality Index scores, certainly coated Transgender Day of Visibility- simply not the occasion that’s swirling in controversy- and there are two the reason why that is the case. First, on account of its obsequious commemoration by the nation’s second Catholic president regardless of falling on the identical day as Resurrection Sunday. Second, on account of its being withheld from the Hispanic neighborhood, at a time when Biden is hemorrhaging Hispanic assist.
As an alternative, the networks coated the transgender parades in Mexico Metropolis. In hindsight, a very simple selection. All the agenda signaling with not one of the messy and inconvenient home politics.
That is the route that Telemundo additionally took:
OCTAVIO PULIDO: In the meantime, tons of of protesters gathered yesterday to commemorate the Worldwide Transgender Day of Visibility. In the course of the protest within the capital of Mexico, attendees demanded a legislation that protects the rights of those folks. Lots of them, members of the LGBTQ neighborhood, marched down the town’s iconic Reforma Avenue, from the Senate constructing, to denounce the discrimination they generally face.
And in so doing, each Univision and Telemundo actively aided and abetted the Biden White Home in overlaying and concealing its promotion of Transgender Visibility Day. Again and again, we’ve established that these networks should not consultant of the Hispanic neighborhood. Relatively, they signify the liberal media to the neighborhood.
