Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Univision, NBC Drop Donald Trump over Comments on Mexican Immigrants

HeadlineJun 30, 2015

Two major networks have cut ties to Donald Trump over his recent comments denigrating Mexican immigrants. Announcing his Republican presidential bid this month, Trump branded Mexicans who move to the U.S. criminals and “rapists.” Calling Trump’s remarks “insulting,” Univision, the largest Spanish-language TV network in the U.S., says it will no longer air the Trump-owned Miss USA pageant. NBC also says it will no longer broadcast Miss USA. It will continue airing the reality show Celebrity Apprentice but without Trump’s involvement.
