Sadly, I don't think Latino I America will do
too well for CNN.I glad that CNN is doing this
but there seems to be anger at CNN these days.
I think Soledad is a bright spot for the network.
It is MLB time and Grays Anatomy on Thursday.
Soledad O'Brien's Special was especially informative and compelling and as interesting as her first Black In America. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the first commenter, I don't think it will do as well as Black in America only because the Latino community is not as cohesive in their viewing pattern of CNN documentaries.
There are plenty of Latino stations on cable that give them their news and in their language and CNN was wrong in NOT promoting Soledad's multi-racial-bilingual, background. The viewing audience at large does not know that she is both Cuban born and raised by an Afro-American parent. Too bad for her because once again she did an outstanding job.
