Disinformation and its impact on elections has been a hot topic for years now. But despite this, little attention has been paid to how this plays out in Spanish-language media.
On today's episode of Downballot Counts, hosts Kyle Trygstad and Greg Giroux speak with Bloomberg Government reporter Maria Curi about where Spanish-language disinformation is coming from and what effect it's having on the Latino vote. Maria explains why falsehoods spread longer and faster in the Spanish-speaking community and why it's difficult for government regulators to combat it.
Greg and Kyle also break down the series of primary elections taking place throughout the rest of this month, including a big contest tomorrow in Ohio that could be a test of the former President's power.
Produced by David Schultz, with assistance from Alex Clearfield and Macarena Carrizosa
