AI deception. Fake news sites. Bot farming. Attempted murder. This week the LMC speaks with Kurt Hackbarth and Arturo Dominguez to discuss the case of right-wing operative Fernando Cerimedo and his disinformation media network that has negatively influenced numerous countries in Latin America as well as his ties to the US.
Kurt Hackbarth is the co-host of the Soberania Podcast and Sin Muros on Mexico City’s Canal 11. Arturo Dominguez is a freelance writer based in Houston, Texas.
The US accuses Venezuela of drug smuggling while the Trump administration pardons a convicted drug dealer. This is hypocrisy on drugs. So the LMC speaks with Egberto Willies, the host of Politics Done Right on KPFT in Houston, and freelance writer Arturo Dominguez on how both Venezuela and Honduras serve as a case study on the myth of the “war on drugs.”
Musician. Activist. Garifuna. Legend. Following the passing of Honduran singer Aurelio Martinez, the LMC spends the hour with activist and writer Jose Francisco Avila to discuss the life and legacy of the Garifuna people’s greatest musician.
The Latino Media Collective is a grassroots Latino public-affairs program that airs on Pacifica station WPFW 89.3fm on Fridays @ 1pm EST in Washington DC.
