In the run-up to the first debate among the Democratic presidential candidates, frontrunner Hillary Clinton sat down with Telemundo anchor María Celeste Arrarás for a tough, hard-hitting…ah, who are we kidding? The whole thing was practically a Hillary campaign commercial.

In the weeks since his infamous confrontation with Donald Trump, Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos has been doing his best to make sure his grievance narrative remains fresh in the minds of the mainstream media. However, the statements he makes while continuing to milk the incident reveal inconsistencies that cannot go unexamined.

Los noticieros de toda la nación (incluidos Univisión y Telemundo) encabezaron sus programas con la noticia del horrendo tiroteo en el Colegio Comunitario Umpqua, en Roseburg, Oregón. El tono de la cobertura de las cadenas de habla hispana no debería sorprender a nadie.

Newscasts all across the nation (including both Univision and Telemundo) led with news of the awful shooting at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. The tone of the coverage on the Spanish-language networks should surprise no one.

Al juzgar por la cobertura de la visita del papa Francisco a los Estados Unidos, parecería que nuestros medios de prensa fueron bendecidos de manera milagrosa con el don de interpretar los pensamientos que están detrás de las palabras del Papa. La prensa de habla hispana no ha estado exenta de este fenómeno.

Judging from some of the coverage of the papal visit to the United States, it would appear that our media have been miraculously blessed with the gift of interpreting the thoughts behind Francis' words. The national Spanish-language media have also been prone to this phenomenon.

When analyzing news content on the nation’s Hispanic news media, it is helpful to remember that what is not covered is as important as what is covered, if not more so. This week’s papal visit to the United States provides us with another such instance.

The aftermath of Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos’ expulsion from (and prompt return to) Donald Trump’s Iowa press conference played out exactly as I predicted. Aided and abetted by his mainstream media comrades, Ramos has sought to cast himself as a brave resistor to injustice á la Rosa Parks, and his post-Trump defenses seek to portray him as a tough truth-teller willing to stand up to tyrants. His actions, however, betray the lofty intent of his words.

The nation’s two top Spanish-language public affairs shows led once again this week with coverage of Donald Trump’s campaign, with many interesting takeaways and conclusion from both programs. At this point, Univision is about to transform into The Trump Channel, so prevalent is its coverage of Trumpmania.

La copresentadora de Jorge Ramos entró con todas las ganas a la reyerta mediática entre él y Donald Trump, y su columna editorial es verdaderamente algo insólito. Aquí hay un enlace a la columna completa, pero dejemos a un lado, por el momento, la floridez y verbosidad del despotrique de Salinas. Hay varias cosas dentro de la columna a las cuales quiero llamar su atención:

Jorge Ramos' longtime co-anchor shot all the way in on the Jorge Ramos trollfest, and her editorial column really has to be seen to be believed. Here it is full text in all its glory (link to Spanish-language original here)

Cuando Jorge Ramos irrumpió en la conferencia de prensa de Donald Trump en Iowa, lo hizo con el claro intento de incitar a una confrontación. Su misma colega María Elena Salinas admitió que la misión de Ramos era de “cuestionar, denunciar, y exponer.”
August 28, 2015, 11:44 AM EDT
When Jorge Ramos trolled Donald Trump’s press conference in Iowa, he clearly did so with the intent to initiate a confrontation. By his own co-anchor María Elena Salinas’ admission, Ramos was there to “question, denounce, and expose”. His acts were not of journalism, but of agenda activism. The undisputed fact is that Jorge Ramos ASKED NO QUESTIONS when he addressed Trump, launching instead into a series of direct attacks against Trump’s immigration proposals which resulted in his expulsion from the event.

La confrontación surreal acaecida entre el presentador de Univisión Jorge Ramos y el precandidato presidencial por el Partido Republicano, Donald Trump, fue el mejor ejemplo posible de lo que ocurre cuando intersecan el periodismo, las agendas, el activismo político, y los intereses comerciales.
August 26, 2015, 2:23 PM EDT
Tuesday night’s surreal exchange between Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos and GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was the greatest single example of what happens at the intersection of journalism, agenda advocacy, political partisanship, and special business interests.

From time to time we cover the tweets of Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos. An examination of his timeline provides greater depth of understanding of his biases, much more so than can be gleaned from within the constraints of a heavily produced and formatted half-hour evening newscast or weekly talk show.

Donald Trump’s proposed immigration policy - which includes a call to end birthright citizenship - has triggered fiery reactions including, predictably, that of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. However, Ramos’ reactions bear a heavy whiff of hypocrisy.
August 16, 2015, 10:31 AM EDT
Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos recently appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources with a myriad of hot takes on the GOP primary debate and set-your-clock predictable results.
When Ramos does these sorts of appearances on English-language media, he is cast as the “voice of the Hispanic community”. I happen to believe that “mainstream media ambassador to the Hispanic community” would be a more accurate moniker, an assertion proven conclusively by the very first question out of host Brian Stelter’s mouth.

And behold, the Center for Medical Progress opened the fifth seal, and thus came forth the most horrific revelations to date in the ongoing Planned Parenthood scandal, with talk of “intact fetal cadavers”, “just another line item” and the most damning admissions of apparent illegality to date. And lo, Univision News has at long last seen fit to come off the sidelines, albeit with entirely predictable coverage.
July 30, 2015, 12:06 PM EDT
News of a third Planned Parenthood hidden-camera video - the most gruesome to date - exploded all over the Internet earlier this week (a fourth video was released this morning). But those who depend on Univision for their news coverage wouldn’t know that, because so far the story has been entirely blacked out of both its early evening and late night national newscasts.
