Univision shuts down 'Don't Vote' ad

The Spanish-language network Univision has refused to air an ad from a GOP-led Hispanic group telling Hispanic voters to sit out the race between Sharron Angle and Harry Reid.

“Univision will not be running any spots from Latinos for Reform related to voting," said a spokeswoman for the network, Monica Talan, in an email. "Univision prides itself on promoting civic engagement and our extensive national campaigns encourage Hispanics to vote.”

The network also distanced itself from Robert de Posada, who had sought to air the ad, and has been a conservative commentator on the channel.

"It is also important to clarify that while Mr. Robert de Posada has on occasion provided political commentary on Univision, representing one of various points of views, he is not in any way affiliated with Univision," Talan said.

De Posada responded that he'd been an on-air analyst on the network for 16 years, and contended that they'd succumbed to Democratic pressure.

"They got a little bit of pressure from the Democratic Party and they pulled it off," he said.

De Posada said he's exploring legal options, but that for now the ad won't air, as Univision has, practically speaking, a "monopoly" in the market.
 
Ignore it...Repubs trying to stop minorities from voting then they cry "why dont minorities vote for us?"

Really?
 
At least they're being open with their motive now. Usually they try to keep minorities from voting, while saying that's not at all what they're doing. At least they're now admiting that's what they want - for minority voters to stay home.
