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.
Following a racist, xenophobic ad by the US Department of Homeland Security that ran on Mexico’s airwaves last April, freelance writer Kurt Hackbarth breaks down Mexico’s corporate media structure and how this controversy may lead to reforms in the country’s telecommunications laws.
Kurt Hackbarth is also the host of the Sobrania Podcast.
On this episode, the LMC welcomes freelance writer Nyki Duda and Emiliano Aguilar, a political and labor historian, to discuss Mexican repatriation in the 1930s in Indiana and how recent events mirror this dark chapter in American history almost a century later.
Emiliano Aguilar is also an assistant professor in the history department at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
