BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Forgetting it was supposed to be done on the Tuesday

But let's not worry about that because Donald Trump is suing Univision for US$500 million after his disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants prompted the leading Spanish-language broadcaster to drop its July telecast of the Miss USA pageant. The suit, filed in New York by his Miss Universe Organization, called Univision's decision "in reality, a politically motivated attempt to suppress Mr. Trump's freedom of speech under the First Amendment as he begins to campaign for the nation's presidency." He accuses Univision of violating their multi-year deal. "Always fight back when right," Trump tweeted. Univision Networks' president of programming, Alberto Ciurana, was named as a co-defendant. In a photo he posted to his Instagram account, Ciurana compared Trump to Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old man charged with murdering nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church. That is a rather unfair comparison to be making, but if that's how Univision feel about Donald Trump right now, then they were right to drop Miss USA from their lineup. And besides, beauty pageants are one of the biggest wastes of airtime around, even without the excessively dolled-up children you see at some of those things.
