YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn Episode 112 of Soberanía, hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth kick off with a takedown of El Universal’s fabricated “interview” with Carlos Monsiváis—a hit piece designed to smear Andrés Manuel López Obrador with baseless, homophobic innuendo. They tear apart the timeline, expose the inconsistencies, and highlight that Monsiváis’s own family has flatly denied the interview’s authenticity. But this isn’t just about bad journalism—it’s a window into the moral bankruptcy of the Mexican right. The hosts connect the dots to a larger strategy: discredit AMLO to destabilize Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidency before it even solidifies. A sharp, sobering opener on media manipulation, political desperation, and the fight for narrative control in Mexico.
