The buyers of this talk radio station promise 'journalistic integrity.' Conservatives are scared.

At a time when Latino representation in media is still lacking and the power of Latino outlets owned by Latinos barely even registers, it was exciting to hear in early June that two Latinas with ties to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised $80 million to form a new national network of radio stations. The Latino Media Network, as it's called, is acquiring 18 existing radio stations.

One such network is a popular conservative Miami station, which explains why my excitement was not shared by the likes of Florida's Sen. Marco Rubio, who voiced his concern for the threat of "left wing operatives" infiltrating the airwaves of a powerful bloc of his own voters.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis echoed that sentiment when he shared a campaign statement with Fox News that described the move as a "pro-socialism, radical agenda."
