From social media to AM radio, misinformation in Spanish-speaking communities is on the rise, outpacing the problem in English-language media.

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront.
I hate to say this but Latinos that fall victim to misinformation have low media literacy, limited vocabulary and feel isolated socially from average Americans. This is a dangerous combination that leads to radicalization. Ask you Tia what a citation or bibliography is and she couldn’t tell you. This is media literacy 101, know your sources. Alex Jones isn’t a source, if he makes a claim make him back it up with a source.
Misinformation to the Asian community as well
Yep, we have seen it in Florida and it's ridiculous! The northern part of Florida and the Miami area have too much misinformation…
Russia disinforming Mexico to screw America? Isn't that the plot line of The Falcon and the Snowman? It starred Sean Penn and Tim Hutton in 1985. George Walker Bush said, "Hold my beer." He leaked all over his "1984". See, he was still a drunk that year. He said he saw a "soul" in Putin, thus disinforming himself. 9/11 happened on his watch. 1/6 happened with his desire for juice. The liquid disinformer. Alcohol, boys and girls. Alcohol.
FACT: … Cubans are the only Hispanic demographic that consistently votes Republican … I saw one with a bumper sticker that read "Trump for Emperor".
Nothing more dangerous than a tía with a WhatsApp account! Google's algorithm knows I'm interested in political and economic news. I very seldom receive news from Politico, The Atlantic, Reuters, or the Washington Post. My Google feed is littered with polarizing news from CNN and Fox. While my YouTube feed is littered with Channels nobody's ever heard of filled with misinformation at best: like Military News, which pushes propaganda w background music and an electronic voice over. From hispanic media, I always find it best to go online to news sources from latin countries. Few, like NTN24 based in New York do fine and serious reporting. I think there is a serious need for US based Spanish language fact checker, especially for US news in the Latino community.
A couple of points of note. Meet the press spends half of its time talking about black issues then when the show talks about Latino issues, it's a 1 minute segment and we have to search for the story online. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Univision, Telemundo, etc. are the marketing arm of the Democratic Party. They play defense for the disastrous policies, meetings and speeches that former Vice President Biden does. They then wonder why people don't trust them. 🤷🏼♂️
Choose 1, don't pretend we can have both. Freedom of speech OR moderated fact-checked content.
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So shall we disregard the Constitution for the sake of content veracity?
I notice that they didn't use the made up term Latin X once in this piece.
Anywhere to find this in Spanish language?
This was a big problem in 2020 also that I noticed with the Spanish speakers in California. Democrats are missing out because they aren't reaching out to this huge population.
My daughter’s group Miami Freedon Project is working with them and they are excellent and work very hard to combat mis information. AM radio Are the worst. Augustin Acosta and Carines Moncada en Actualidad son muy instigadores. Los únicos que son reales son los de Actualidad en las mañanas que dicen las cosas como son
So true. Sometimes the information isn’t even translated correctly to Spanish.
Stop whining 👎👎
The FAKE media has killed real journalism a long time ago.
Oh so grandma is wrong, crazy etc. Who told you that ? mainstream media. Do you really think she never heard any of these things? A Cuban who doesn't believe what governments say? Thank God for her. She learned the right lesson. Usa government is lying to us. All of us.
Is there a Spanish version of this for Spanish speakers ? Need to forward this
This is a real problem, and explains why the border areas of Texas are suffering the way they are…
So true about time!
Listen , Check , and Think for yourself !
Glad and it's about time someone look into this matter , Thankyou.
The people who are deliberately doing this are WICKED.
Instead of putting out ideas and policies that would resonate with voters and actually help them, especially in certain demographics – but definitely the majority of Americans, they choose weaponizing lies as their playbook. Growing their base this way is 💯% EVIL.
Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation, Right?
Comcast talking about "misinformation" is like Jeff Dalmer talking about meal prepping.
The hoax that Edison generators is on Wikipedia right??
What do you think is not true? We saw space X hit Venus with a nuclear weapon and claim he had a radioactive rocket accident on Sunnyvale but night before we saw Venus explode and remain red for years. When there was radiation detected coming from northern latitudes SpaceX Elon Musk's nuclear warhead developed contrary Treaties had another rocket accident near Russia. These are public events should be available to media interpretation.
The news media is gross misinformation regarding covid-19 Polio pandemic and Salk vaccine.
The ommission disregarded nuclear nonproliferation treaty enforcement and obligations. The mass media is guilty of condoning nuclear technology halogenated vinyl and halogenated violations of Treaties instituted by scientists to initiate survival.
The vaccines are frozen or refrigerated vaccines that maybe using cell lines for medicine. The vaccines should be examined for cells and cell lines and not used. An injection with cell lines will result in cancer. The media is gross misinformation regarding vaccines and should be arrested.
Finally someone is doing a story on this. My dad retired and now he's a couch troll, he never goes out and watches nothing but conspiracy videos.
Seems odd nothing to report on Joe Biden Son Hunter laptop?, must be " Lack of information" from the far left news media….
A lot of Hispanics are been miss informed a
Bout the Russo Ukranian conflict
los medios quieren divison entre afro y latino. Cuidado con las mentiras y el racismo. Dios no le gusta feo. Ustedes no son contrapartes de personas blancas. Cuidado con el colono.
2 Timothy ch3: 1-5. But understand this, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people ✝️⏰
donald trump "I love the under educated and they love me", "look at how Blacks for trump come out in numbers no one has ever seen and Latinos, no one has ever seen anything like their turnout". If education isn't the first priority in every election to come the USA will drown in fake info overload.
La verdad a lot of things are not even available in mx because its blocķed
NBC is misinformation!
Misinformation –
Thinking for yourself and anything going against the mainstream media's/ government's disintegrating narrative – A Latino
MSNBC is misinformation … FAKE News
Now we know misinfo and disinfo are from Russia. Putin spent a lot of $$$$$$$ to spread misinfo and disinfo around the world.
Latinformation is a cultural right and human right. A highest form of pursuit of happiness for Latin people in US.
Don't look too far away from Steve Bandon, the division king.
What's the matter with you guys? "misinformation" can be an innocent mistake. This is all devisive and intentional. It's "Disinformation" – the deliberate act of fashioning lies to deceive.
Actually we still won't trust mainstream media as we know they are sellouts
Vacation gave me big time allergies roughly about a week after first shot and only got worse with second
Wow! What an extremely balanced report! No totally left wing slant to this report. Only Republicans provide misinformation, and Democratics only operate off of true, factual, information. What a joke!
Hermosa eleccion 5😍 SEXBABY.Uno de mejor siempre en mi corazónl mañas no se la.🌹🤩💜 Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
Chuck fraud master of disinformation
