It is no secret that U.S. immigration policy is central to Univision’s existence. We have previously showcased video of Jorge Ramos openly admitting as much. This byline has also memorialized efforts to vitiate, suppress, or deceptively edit those Hispanic conservatives who refuse to toe the network’s line on policy. The result of the network’s institutional culture is a narrative collision that resulted in the total censorship of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) from news coverage of the immigration portion of Tuesday's GOP debate.

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.

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.

Actions speak louder than words. Just like Jorge Ramos is currently losing the argument that he’s a fair journalist, his network’s PAC donations are confirming Univision has the exact same problem.
Though Univision Communications, Inc. -- Univision’s PAC -- talks about Latino voters as if it were nonpartisan, 87 percent of its political donations have gone directly to Democratic candidates. The PAC’s money comes from Univision employees and spouses, including large donations from Univision leadership. Glenda Martinez and Timothy Spillane, two high level executives, together donated $76,552 to the PAC since 2008.

As if the ties between the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Univision, the nation's most widely-viewed Spanish-language television network, weren't close enough, along comes Univision and Fusion star anchor Jorge Ramos announcing that his daughter, Paola, is now becoming a Hillary Clinton campaign aide.

Amanda Rentería, national political director of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, has received another cushy interview, this time at the hands of none other than Univision anchor Jorge Ramos.
Following on the heels of a puff piece on Telemundo, the six and a half minute interview with Rentería on Univision also failed to bring up the flurry of financial and ethical controversies swirling around Rentería’s candidate, in relation to the Clinton Foundation (including Univision’s own close ties to the Foundation).

Amanda Rentería, directora de política nacional de la campaña presidencial de Hillary Clinton, recibió otra servicial entrevista. Esta vez, de parte de nada menos que Jorge Ramos, conductor estelar de Univisión.
Después de una insustancial entrevista en Telemundo, los seis minutos y medio de entrevista de Rentería en Univisión tampoco cuestionaron la serie de escándalos financieros y éticos que siguen a la candidata presidencial y su Fundación Clinton. Tampoco se discutió sobre las estrechas relaciones de la propia Univisión con la Fundación Clinton.

Over the course of chronicling the incestuous (and opaque) relationship between Hillary Clinton and Univision, its news division’s insanely biased coverage of conservatives, its ongoing campaign of vitiation of conservative Hispanics, and its overall leftward biases, I’ve come to the following realization: it may well be an exercise in madness to continue to treat Univision’s news division as an actual news division.

Durante el transcurso de cubrir la relación incestuosa (y opaca) entre Hillary Clinton y la cadena Univisión, su cobertura viciadísima de conservadores, su campaña de descalificación contra conservadores hispanos y su sesgo hacia la izquierda, he llegado a la siguiente conclusión: que bien podría ser locura pretender cubrir a ese departamento de noticias como a un departamento de noticias.

El desvergonzado apoyo a la campaña de Hillary Clinton se manifestó de nuevo esta semana en Univisión en ocasión del viaje de la candidata demócrata a Las Vegas. La Clinton anunció su postura a favor de conceder la ciudadanía estadounidense a millones de inmigrantes no-autorizados en el país, además de extender la amnistía ejecutiva del presidente Obama y no hacer cumplir las leyes federales en materia migratoria.

Brazen cheerleading was the order of the day on Univision this week, as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton travelled to Las Vegas to announce her support of U.S. citizenship for millions of unauthorized immigrants in the country, in addition to the expansion of the Obama administration’s current policies of amnesty and non-enforcement of federal immigration law.
In addition to the entirely celebratory coverage of Clinton’s announcement on the network’s flagship newscast - with critical voices nowhere to be found - the network featured Clinton’s newly-minted national political director, Amanda Rentería, tasking the network with questions to ask of Republican rivals Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.

Título alternativo: A Univisión ya no le importan las apariencias. La cadena, que a regañadientes ha reportado sobre el escándalo #ClintonCash, ha decidido hacer alarde de su relación incestuosa con los Clinton.
