Obama Joker poster (Alex Jones) featured on Spanish Newscast [HQ]

On Wednesday, August 12, 2009, during the 6 & 11pm Newscast, Local Univision Affiliates WVEA (Tampa) and WVEN (Orlando) ran a package about the Obama Joker posters. The location of this incident happened in CLERMONT, Fla.

The two local Spanish stations, due to layoffs, have recently merged & rebranded themselves "Florida Central." They specialize in what's called "refritos" or "refried" news. It basically means, if it appears on the English stations, then it's automatically copied (nearly word for word) to the Spanish ones thereafter (see: operation mockingbird). No true journalistic effort was put into the making of this package.

Since Alex Jones (infowars.com) was mentioned on the original English package, it was allowed to be mentioned on the Spanish version. For a second there, I almost thought field reporter Addiel Gomez (former sports anchor) did his homework.
