GOP Source: KTSM Anchor Met with GOP Candidate, Team

A source in the local El Paso Republican Party says controversial conservative KTSM anchor Christine Aguayo met with El Paso Congressional Candidate Irene Armendariz-Jackson at the home of a local Republican. 

According to the source the purpose of the alleged meeting was to discuss strategies of getting Armendariz-Jackson more air time on television to allegedly assist her candidacy. The source says this meeting happened in December of 2021 and included not only the candidate, but key members of her campaign team.

Since that meeting KTSM has aired at least one story that featured Armendariz-Jackson's husband. If memory serves, he recently retired following a vaccine mandate for all federal employees. The story aired late January, early February. Here is a link to the story. 


As you can see, that story was done by - you guest it - none other than Christina Aguayo. 

I don't believe I recall another alleged situation of a news anchor meeting with a candidate and their campaign team for the purposes of advancement of a political campaign. I don't think any laws are being broken here, but I'm sure the parent company Nexstar has some sort of policy related to this situation.
