With just days until the midterm elections, the fight for political support from Latino voters is playing out in a multimillion-dollar battle for control of Spanish-language airwaves.

Partly in response to what they allege is a barrage of disinformation and misinformation on Spanish-language talk radio, a media company led by two former Democratic aides has embarked on a push to control 18 radio stations around the country, including a flagship of conservative talk radio in Miami, the station known as Radio Mambí.
Until the FCC gives final regulatory approval over the sale, which is expected to come later this year, the Latino Media Network will not be able to make any changes to the stations' broadcasts. Latino Media Network declined to talk with CBS News about the purchase, but provided a statement saying that"all points of view will be welcomed and encouraged." "They want to use those 18 radio stations and start peddling socialism to the Hispanics," said Republican Rep.
The heated ownership fight over the talk radio hub comes at a time when both political parties have been stepping up efforts to gain support from Latino voters. And experts tell CBS News that part of the effort to sway those voters has been to bombard them with disinformation.
