Univision’s recent interview with former President Trump has sparked controversy, with some criticizing the network for giving Trump a platform.
Media Research Center’s Jorge Bonilla defended the interview, stating that the network is facing backlash due to its usual left-wing stance and inability to handle Trump’s presence.
The interview, conducted by journalist Enrique Acevedo, has led to criticism from left-wing groups and Univision staff. (Trending: Biden’s Mental Decline Getting Even Worse)

This has prompted discussions about Univision’s editorial direction and its handling of political interviews.
“What you’re seeing right now is a major meltdown, mostly on the left, from operators of the Democratic Party, members of the media and members of the celebrity class as well,” explained Bonilla.
“They came in and saw that Univision was, in fact, this Democrat toilet, this Democrat talking point repository,” he continued.
“And they were horrified, so they’ve been trying to bring in some balance into the equation,” added the analyst.
Bonilla explained that, “What Acevedo did is what Univision does not do, which is simply have the exchange, have the dialogue, and let the viewer decide.”
Adding, “So, what we have now is, is this entire controversy where the Democrats are up in arms. There’s been a letter sent out by the Congressional Hispanic Censorship Caucus, as I call them, to try and bully Univision into falling back in line, into falling back into compliance, and this hot dumpster fire is unfolding right now.”
CEO Wade Davis has emphasized the network’s commitment to covering candidates from all political parties and empowering Hispanic communities.
This is ridiculous. A Spanish-language news outlet does a fair interview with Trump and the leftist outrage machine gets triggered because the media isn't working for them. https://t.co/vghMMY4tva
