    CNN Misses the Point with 'Latino in America???

     

    Is this ethnic extortion or hostage taking?.  Or is this whole thing hooked to welcoming illegal immigration and the present health care battle!

    From the Change .org website

    “What does it mean to be Latino in America? CNN tries to explore this question in a two-part four-hour documentary hosted by Soledad O'Brian.

    First, it's problematic to lump people from diverse countries with diverse backgrounds into a singular category labeled 'Latino' for the purpose of a four-hour documentary. Second, it's far more problematic to label the United States as 'America.' This entire continent is America but glossing over this fact just shows our arrogance as a country. “

    “When asked to air an ad exposing Dobbs to balance the series, CNN refused the $16000 in ad revenue, inviting more negative attention from the Basta Dobbs Campaign, organizing against Lou Dobbs in over 18 cities. Then, CNN refused to run an ad critical of the insurance industry at a time when 34% of Hispanics do not have health insurance in the United States, the largest ethnic group without health coverage.”
