The group is set to purchase 18 Hispanic radio stations across 10 different markets.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>In June, conservative radio star Lourdes Ubieta quit the iconic Miami station and will now be full-time at the up-and-coming Americano Media. Radio Mambi has deep roots in the South Florida Cuban exile community, whereas the national Americano Media is looking to attract all Spanish-speaking conservatives across the US. Radio Mambi, which provides an anti-communism view, would now be controlled by the liberal Soros-funded group if the $60 million deal is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\"><\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The Latino Media Network will be made up of 18 Hispanic radio stations including Radio Mambi. The network was partially financed by Lakestar Finance, an investment group affiliated with Soros Fund Management. The stations, which are currently owned by Univision, would be controlled by former Hillary for America and AFL-CIO employee Jess Morales Rocketto and former Obama White House staffer Stephanie Valencia, if the deal is approved by the FCC.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The pair recently<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/06\/03\/latino-media-network-startup\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> told <em>Axios<\/em> <\/a>that the network will reach one-third of all Hispanics living in the US.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Ubieta told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/world\/soros-takeover-conservative-radio-star-lourdes-ubieta-quits-iconic-radio-mambi-ahead-of-sale-to-liberal-group\/ar-AAZgzu7\">Fox News<\/a>, &#8220;I would never cut a deal with these people. Never, never, never.&#8221; She called the takeover a &#8220;stab in the heart&#8221; of her community and said she wanted no part of it and that is why she left.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Ubieta, who has been an outspoken critic of the takeover, told the outlet that she turned down a significant offer that included a non-disclosure agreement to stay at Radio Mambi. &#8220;They told me that I will receive half the money as soon as they get the FCC approval and then the rest of the money when Soros people take over. Ubieta added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be part of the deal. I\u2019m not going to sign the papers and I quit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Ubieta will now be full-time at the Miami-based Americano Media, where she has been hosting a show, in addition to her role at Radio Mambi.

For month, he\u2019s been trying to push censorship of Radio Mambi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Alexandrino told the outlet that Soto has declined to debate the topic on her show multiple times. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a bone to pick with Darren Soto and with George Soros, because George Soros has actually financed most of Darren Soto\u2019s campaign. His campaigns have been funded by Latino Victory Fund which get their financing from George Soros. So, you know whether you want to call it directly or indirectly, he&#8217;s been financed by George Soros\u2026 my principles, my values will not allow me to take any money from a man that I&#8217;ve been shunning and that I&#8217;ve been destroying on the air as somebody who only searches and seeks the destruction of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>According to Florida Politics, the Soros-funded Latino Victory Fund funneled at least $500,000 into Soto\u2019s 2018 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Tuesday, three-time Emmy Award-winning host Nelson Rubio informed the management of Radio Mambi that he was leaving immediately.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Rubio told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/soros-takeover-nelson-rubio-exits-radio-mambi-extreme-left-group-purchases-conservative-station\">Fox News<\/a> through a translator, &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with, nor do I share the ideology of the group of purchased Radio Mambi\u2026 very simply, George Soros represents the extreme left.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>According to the outlet, he had planned on informing his listeners on-air but was not allowed to host his program once management knew he was leaving.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Democrats have been concerned over the continuing loss of party support in the Hispanic community. Media Research Center Latino director Jorge Bonilla told Fox News that the purchase of these stations by the Soros-funded network &#8220;reeks of desperation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Bonilla said, &#8220;The left, increasingly feeling entitled to Hispanics yet unable to persuade them, openly seeks to control their access to information. This is the true aim of the &#8216;Spanish-language disinformation&#8217; campaign of the past few years. Censorship and control.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>He added, &#8220;This is about power, this is about control. This is not about free speech. This is not about this misinformation. This is about controlling the flow of information to a specific community for political purposes, and that is what makes this deal, I think, so controversial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Left-leaning media has been growing increasingly concerned about Hispanic voters running to the right for years.
