According to recent viewing data, in spite of Univision and Telemundo boycotting the Palin speech, more Hispanics watched her speech than watched Senator Obama's speech. By what logic did the executives at these two stations justify showing Obama's speech and boycotting Palin's speech? Arguably, Hispanics and others have had lots and lots and lots of exposure to Mr. Obama. They've had very little exposure to Ms. Palin. I suppose they will argue that Ms. Palin is the VP candidate, whereas Obama is running for the top job. Still, given the interest in the speech, particularly among their viewers, they could easily have made another decision - and their ratings would have been better. But both of these networks have a leftist tilt, so don't hold your breath waiting for any surprise support from them.
