MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s largest media company severed ties with a prominent journalist Sunday after he came under fire for retweeting a message seen as inciting violence against the country’s front-running presidential candidate. Televisa’s news division said in a statement that it was ending its relationship with Ricardo Aleman effective the same day and canceling his program “La Mudanza” on Foro TV. “Televisa decided to cancel its working relationship with Ricardo Aleman!” he wrote. “Violence, the threat of violence, calls to attack a candidate ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. “Due to the absence of an explicit condemnation, we are forced to end our working relationship with the journalist as of today.”Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.
