The opening rally of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was the subject of fawning coverage on the nation’s top Spanish-language network, Univision, which failed to include a single critical voice in its report on Clinton’s speech at the rally and celebrated the participation in the event of activist Andrea González, a non-citizen who was the only person other than Clinton to address the crowd.

La concentración inicial de la campaña presidencial de Hillary Clinton fue ensalzada en la cobertura de Univisión, la mayor cadena hispanoparlante.
Univisión que no incluyó ninguna voz crítica al discurso de Clinton en la concentración, celebró la participación en el evento de la activista Andrea González, una no-ciudadana que fue la única persona además de Clinton en hablarle a la multitud.

The editorial page editors at the New York Times posted a Tuesday item on their blog that shamelessly played up how the main villain from the Harry Potter book series, Voldemort, has a "higher rating than six Republicans, including Jeb Bush." The Washington Post's WonkBlog "compared polling data on the presidential hopefuls with Google Consumer Survey results on the fictional characters."

On Thursday, both CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today rushed to play up how Senator Ted Cruz apologized for a joke he made about Vice President Joe Biden just days after his son died but both ignored that the video of the comment was provided by the far left Super PAC American Bridge.

The setting: An interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz and KMBT-TV’s Kevin Steele in Beaumont, Texas. Steele repeatedly asked Cruz if he had a “personal animosity against gay Americans?" Cruz would have none of it.

Bloomberg News ran a happy news story this week about the "surprising" development of Republicans joining Democrats in their effort to end our "incarceration generation" by the simple expedient of putting fewer criminals in prison. And Bloomberg wasn't just talking about the media's usual lickspittle, Sen. Rand Paul.

Liberal media honcho Mark Halperin really showed his "colors" as he tried to de-Hispanify Sen. Ted Cruz in an interview for Bloomberg Politics over the weekend.

The disrespectful treatment of Sen. Ted Cruz by Bloomberg's Mark Halperin fits a well-established pattern of duplicity and double standards in the modern day practice of identity politics in the United States.

Today, Bloomberg TV's Mark Halperin inadequately apologized for his conduct and line of questioning during an April 30 interview of GOP presidential candidate which came off as rude and racist to many who saw it — well, basically because it was.
As Tim Graham at NewsBusters noted on Sunday, and as will be seen in the video following the jump, Halperin engaged in a "prove-you're-a-Cuban" line of questioning, and did so with "a grim visage during these questions, like ... an interrogation, not a friendly chat":

Bloomberg TV host Mark Halperin drew a serious rhetorical beating from columnist Ruben Navarrette over his prove-you’re-a-Cuban line of questioning to Ted Cruz on his program With All Due Respect. (The “respect” seemed to be missing, or as phony-sounding as it can be during an argument.)
The interview came on April 30, but the columnist just picked up the argument. Would a liberal Latino get this line of questioning? And notice that Halperin has a grim visage during these questions, like it’s an interrogation, not a friendly chat.

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show is no stranger to trashing conservatives, while hiding behind the guise of a court jester. This time, he set his set the tone of his show with a game he called “Let's get rid of Ted Cruz."
Stewart showcased a clip of CNN’s Dana Bash asking Sen. Cruz to provide examples of Obama’s racial tension. This was apparently so preposterous that the Daily Show host pretended to read the book War and Peace. "And you know, Ted, while you struggle to be specific, I'll read a little something just in case it takes you a while."

“For the first time in history, there are two Hispanic candidates running for president…the Republicans have been doing something right,” proclaimed Univision anchorman Jorge Ramos during a recent speech at Harvard’s Kennedy School.
The mainstream media has barely given any attention to the historic candidacies of Rubio and Cruz, unlike the constant attention they gave Obama in 2008.Ramos also pointed out that “Democrats don’t have a single Hispanic candidate for this election."
