Univision, a radical immigration advocacy PAC with a broadcast license seeking government permission to become a foreign-owned entity exercising undue influence in our electoral process, has sided with Communist China and against those who believe that the social media application TikTok constitutes a severe threat to our national security.
Just look at the asinine questions asked by midday anchor Borja Voces- not to a national security expert, an official from the State Department or a Member of Congress, but to a comedian and social media influencer who gains to benefit from Tik ok’s continued ability to operate in the United States:
BORJA VOCES: And now. Everyone is still talking about the TikTok app, after the Trump administration singled it out as a legitimate national security threat. We will address this issue and we are now connecting, in Miami, Florida, with the social media influencer and expert Abelardo Chahwan. Abelardo, thank you for being with us here at the Digital Edition.
….
In your view, does this app really pose a threat to national security, as the government is saying?
…
Abelardo, we know that the campaign that was waged on the app- on TikTok, was very controversial for Trump aides, of (those who organized) the Trump rally in Tulsa. What effect has it had, or what effect do you think TikTok has had on (our) politics?
…
Now, what should TikTok users do to prepare in case the application is suddenly canceled?
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Senator Marco Rubio, among others, have expressed serious concerns about the threat constituted by TikTok- as well as other Chinese social media apps- due to the fact that these companies are mandated to provide a backdoor to the Chinese communist regime with which to access the devices that these apps are downloaded on and ultimately spy on them.
The ludicrous tone of Univision’s report seemed to suggest that the Trump Administration’s concerns about TikTok are not rooted in national security, but in the urge to avenge the campaign to undermine the Trump campaign rally at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Based on Univision’s coverage of a very grave national security matter, is it any wonder why we say that Univision cannot be taken seriously as a national news organization?
Not to us. Let advertisers like AT&T know of the partisan activism passing as news at Univision, by voicing your concern here.

BORJA VOCES: And now. Everyone is still talking about the TikTok app, after the Trump administration singled it out as a legitimate national security threat. We will address this issue and we are now connecting, in Miami, Florida, with the social media influencer and expert Abelardo Chahwan. Abelardo, thank you for being with us here at the Digital Edition.
ABELARDO CHAHWAN: Borja, thank you for having me here.
VOCES: Abelardo. You have more than 1.3 million followers on TikTok. In your view, does this app really pose a threat to national security, as the government is saying?
ABELARDO : Well, it poses a threat in what has been investigated, that people who work for companies like Wells Fargo, Amazon, it does pose a threat to them, since they work with a lot of essential data for the job. But well, in my case, it doesn't pose a threat.
VOCES: Abelardo, we know that the campaign that was waged on the app- on TikTok, was very controversial for Trump aides, of (those who organized) the Trump rally in Tulsa. What effect has it had, or what effect do you think Tik Tok has had on (our) politics?
ABELARDO: Well, as you could see, they had 1 million applications for that Donald Trump event. And 6200 people went. Well, among TikTok at the time, they were campaigning to book tickets for that day. But in order not to go. In order for people not to go.
VOCES: We are viewing images of your TikTok on screen. This is hard work. I really admire Tiktokkers, especially right now, because this involves a lot of time. Now, what should TikTok users do to prepare in case the application is suddenly canceled?
ABELARDO: Well. There is talk among many content creators, that Instagram can take the lead in creating new tools that are the same as TikTok. Or, (we could) wait for another app to appear. Now, there are several applications that do the same job as TikTok, including LIKE and Triller, who are working on the process to match the TikTok numbers. And you're seeing the possibility that if TikTok shuts down, people will go somewhere else or if Instagram has some new tools.
VOCES: That's right.
