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.

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.

Demócratas reciben el 87% de los donativos políticos por la mayor cadena hispanoparlante; refuerza la parcialidad de Univision
By Alatheia Larsen | September 3, 2015 | 3:42 PM EDT Los hechos son más convincentes que las palabras. Tal como Jorge Ramos está perdiendo el debate sobre su equilibrio como periodista, las donaciones del comité de acción política (PAC por sus siglas en inglés) de la cadena, confirman que Univisión tiene el mismo problema.

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.
