Univision Faces Backlash Over Trump Interview

Journalist Enrique Acevedo defends his approach, arguing for diverse perspectives in media.

Univision's decision to air an interview with former President Trump in November has sparked ongoing backlash, particularly from liberal viewers and critics.
Enrique Acevedo, the journalist who conducted the interview, defended his approach in a Washington Post opinion piece, arguing that his goal was to give conservative Latinos a chance to hear from Trump directly.
Critics have accused Univision of shifting to the right under new ownership after Mexican media company Televisa acquired control of the network in 2021.
Acevedo's defense of the interview indicates that many viewers and influential Hispanics expect Univision to remain a platform for liberal perspectives.
Despite the controversy, Univision maintains that its news strategy is nonpartisan and objective, aiming to serve all viewers.
