In what’s become commonplace, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC partnered with Spanish-language networks Telemundo and Univision to censor from their evening newscasts on Wednesday arguably the most disturbing video yet in the Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal that included a description of an abortion worker harvesting an aborted baby while their heart was still beating.

Durante una entrevista con Hillary Clinton en New Hampshire, la semana pasada, la conductora de Univisión, María Elena Salinas, perdió una importante oportunidad para hacer realidad su afirmación de que su cadena de noticias es “imparcial y equilibrada”. Desafortunadamente, la sazonada conductora, de la mayor cadena hispanoparlante, permitió que la precandidata presidencial demócrata y exsecretaria de Estado, atacara a Judicial Watch por su papel en exponer el gran escándalo político que es objeto de investigación por el FBI y litigio en tribunales federales.

During an interview with Hillary Clinton last week in New Hampshire, Univision anchor María Elena Salinas missed a critical opportunity to live up to her claim that her network’s news coverage is “fair and balanced.” That’s because unfortunately, the veteran anchor at the nation’s largest Spanish-language network allowed the Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State of the United States to attack Judicial Watch for its central role in exposing a huge political scandal that is the subject of an FBI investigation and federal court litigation.

In Monday evening’s edition of network bias by omission, CBS and NBC neglected to stories concerning a data breach of American taxpayers at the scandal-ridden IRS and the Obama administration finally giving approval for a major oil company to begin oil drilling in the Arctic off Alaska’s coast. Surprisingly, ABC’s World News Tonight picked up the pieces and provided their viewers with coverage of a full segment on the IRS breach and a brief on the future of drilling in the Arctic.

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.

After ABC, CBS, and NBC devoted portions of their Thursday morning newscasts to the FBI taking control of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server, the picture was far different on Thursday night as ABC, NBC, Telemundo, and Univision moved on from this scandal and neglected to mention it. The CBS Evening News, however, found it pertinent to continue keeping their viewers abreast of Clinton’s e-mail scandal in the form of a two-minute segment from congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes.

Judging from his diverging comments to English and Spanish-language media outlets, when it comes to immigration Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders seems increasingly prone to speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

California está batiendo todas las marcas en nombre de su numerosa población de inmigrantes no autorizados. O al menos eso es lo que parece según la mayor cadena hispanoparlante, Univisión.

California is hitting one home run after another on behalf of its teeming population of unauthorized immigrants. Or at least that’s the way it’s seen on the nation’s top Spanish-language television network, Univision.
