1. This Is An Interesting Connection...
Univision has strong ties to the Mexican Televisa network...so much that they had had licenses challenged in the past due to concerns of foreign control/ownership. It wouldn't surprise me if Ms. Iseman did lobby for the company...all the major broadcast companies have dozens of lobbyists on the payroll. McCain sits as chairman of the telecommunications committee that oversees the FCC and he was a strong opponent to futher media consolidation. Last December, he turned a 180 and voted in favor of more broadcast monopolization of the airwaves...now is there any connection?

Here's the wiki on Univision...an interesting company to say the least...

2. Univision and Globalization
Does that mean then that this company is part of the quest for the Globalization of the USA/Mexico/Canada thing, you know, the NAFTA crap? I'm sure McCain is instructed by his puppet handlers via this slave to make sure that we unite and the Univision thing makes sense now....where's my darn tinfoil hat when I need it?

3. Nope...This Goes Back Further...
Univision goes back to the SIN network back in the 60's and 70's that was started by a former LA Rams player with bankrolling from Televisa (under another name then)...there have been questions about the network's ownership and it appears that probably had something to do with the 2006 sale.

This game is about the further consolidation of the pubic airwaves...several years ago, McCain stood up against these large corporate being able to suck up even more of the broadcast spectrum...last December, he flipped and went with Kevin Martin's ramrodding of more dereg...benefiting Murdoch as well. No NAFTA involved with this.
