Hillary Clinton's Univision Ties Met With Near-Silence in Media; 'Pay-to-Play' Claim From GOP
................................................................................................................................
The Miami Herald ^ | Sunday, February 9, 2014 | Marc Caputo


High in the polls with a dream candidate’s resume, Hillary Clinton's advantages in the 2016 presidential race are the stuff of near-constant media chatter these days.

Except for one topic: Univision.

The Spanish-language network, which broadcasts from Doral, has remarkably close ties with Clinton — from the way the media giant covers immigration to the financial backing of its top leader to a new initiative between the network and the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.Barely a peep from the press, though.

Last week, at an East Harlem event featuring Clinton, Univision touted a multi-year partnership with a foundation-led learning initiative for children five and younger. The success of the ‘Pequeños y Valiosos” (or “Young and Valuable”) partnership will take time to measure.

But it began paying immediate dividends for Clinton.

Clinton’s face is featured in five of seven slides on the Univision website promoting the partnership with the foundation’s “Too Small to Fail” initiative. Taking no press questions at the event, Clinton was featured in the type of feel-good classroom setting that politicians on the campaign trail crave.

“The reality is this is less about promoting education than it is political pay to play by the Democrats and Univision,” RNC spokesman Sean Spicer said in an email.

“It’s shameful for Univision to promote Hillary’s record on education when it includes supporting candidates who gut charter schools and slash scholarships for low-income students in struggling schools,” Spicer noted earlier in his statement.

So far the RNC isn’t taking on Univision the way it pressured CNN and NBC last year to scrap plans for a Clinton documentary, which Republicans said amounted to election-year infomercials. In that case, the RNC threatened to boycott the networks from hosting a 2016 GOP White House candidate debate.
