I realize that most of you don't watch Spanish television. But millions of Spanish-speaking and bi-lingual (Spanish-English) Americans do.
A few hours after the conclusion of the Republican convention, John McCain did a long interview with Univision's reporter and co-anchor Jorge Ramos:
Mr. Ramos,is the Miami-based co-anchorman for the main evening news program of Univision Communications Inc., the dominant Spanish-language network in the U.S. He says Anglos "don't even know how to pronounce my name," but he has an Emmy award for his journalism and a salary in the high six figures. When he and co-anchor Maria Elena Salinas deliver the 6:30 evening newscast, they reach an average audience of 1,057,000 viewers in the 18-to-49 age group that advertisers prize. This is almost 10 times the audience of CNN's "Moneyline Newshour" in the same time slot, according to Nielsen Media Research.
