8. Miami's corporate rightwing spanish language media has been telling listeners Democrats are "communists" for years.

'Disinformation Transformed Miami Politics. This Radio Station Is One Reason Why.'

"Radio Mambí birthed Cuban politics in south Florida. Now it’s a platform for Trumpism — even though it’s owned by Democrats."

"If you tuned in to Radio Mambí 710 AM in 2020, you might have heard a caller questioning the results in Georgia and Pennsylvania, demanding recounts or denouncing the election as a fraud. In 2021, you might have heard the hosts repeat claims that Black Lives Matter and Antifa members were behind the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — and you definitely would have heard claims that President Joe Biden was a socialist. In 2024, listeners tuning in heard callers and hosts calling Vice President Kamala Harris a Marxist extremist, sharing concerns about the 'humanitarian crisis' in Springfield, Ohio, or spreading theories about voters being registered without proof of citizenship — with the hosts rarely stepping in to correct the record."

"You’d never guess that Mambí, the focus of a national controversy about disinformation in Latino communities, is now owned by Democrats."

All day, every day, on Radio Mambi it's "Los Democratas son comunistas." Now Radio Mambí "has fallen to No. 2, outpaced by Venezuelan current events radio Actualidad 1040 AM." It's nothing but propaganda and disinformation 24/7. It does boggle the mind.
