HERE WE GO: Telemundo, Google Now Collaborating on Spanish ‘Disinformation’ Tool

Big Tech’s collusion with corporate media is continuing apace. The same goes for efforts to restrict Hispanics’ free information flow. A collaboration was made between Google and Telemundo to combat “disinformation” in Spanish.

Under the name of MediaWise En Español, the ´tool´ marketed by brand Ambassadors Julio Vaqueiro and MSNBC´s Jose Diaz-Balart is available through the WhatsApp platform. It consists of short “courses” about such enlightening subjects as What is disinformation? And how does it spread?; To verify the information you are sharing, there are three questions., The Signs of Disinformation

Watch as Diaz-Balart and Vaqueiro discuss how they plan to teach Hispanics to ´decipher fact from fiction´-i.e. Anything they don’t agree with.

JOSE DIAZ-BALART : Julio, Julio and myself are now Telemundo ambassadors for Telemundo’s new program with Poynter and Google News which tackles Spanish disinformation. Discuss the importance of this issue with me.

JULIO VALERO: Jose, I am very excited about the new initiative. It’s great. Our goal is to empower our users to discern truth from fiction in the news. We talk about fake news in the United States, but all information is available in English. There are more than 40,000,000 Spanish-speaking people in the US who rely on social media for communication with their family and friends around the globe. To stay informed, the Latino community relies heavily on the internet and social media. They will have the tools and resources they need to find truth and fake news, as well as what is true. This is why I am so excited to participate in the initiative with you.

DIAZ-BALART : More information is available at pointer.org. In both English and español.

VAQUEIRO: That´s right. Also in noticiastelemundo.com people can find out more about this and more resources.

An interesting fact is that as per the official press release from the Poynter Institute, the MediaWise en Español program “We will provide media literacy tips to enable older Spanish-speaking adults spot misinformation online and offer training., including on the most popular social media platforms.” This of course, is a demographic that is not so easily persuaded to follow the media blindly, or gullible to the corporate media´s leftist propaganda and parroted White House talking points.

With Hispanics embracing the Republican Party in growing numbers, “progressives” are desperately clutching their pearls. It is becoming more common for Hispanics to have limited access to information. It is particularly troubling that Big Tech and corporate media have teamed up to decide “disinformation”. Big Tech taking on this role has the drawback that information flows only one direction. Remember how Facebook and Twitter prevented the Hunter Biden story getting into mainstream media a few weeks prior to the election?
