Alternate headline: Univision Has Zero Rips Left To Give. The network, which is only now reluctantly slow-dripping news of the emerging #ClintonCash scandal, has decided to flaunt its incestuous relationship with the Clintons.

The financial and ethical controversy surrounding the charitable foundation run by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton finally received attention this week from the nation’s largest Spanish-language network.
Univision, whose executive chairman, Haim Saban, is a top Clinton campaign and Clinton Foundation financial backer, aired a full report on the Foundation’s admitted financial reporting lapses and included the controversy over Hillary Clinton’s emails and alleged influence peddling as part of the mix.

Univision’s long-standing campaign to otherize and disqualify Hispanic conservatives and those who dissent with the network’s immigration agenda has only increased in vitriol and intensity since the presidential campaign announcements of Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio.
The network, whose executive chairman is Lincoln Bedroom-occupying Clintonista Haim Saban and whose news division is run by Isaac “Our Opponents Are Like Nazis” Lee, is lately focusing its rage on Rubio.

There is something to be said for the warm cocoon of academia, and its ability to draw out the true thoughts of radicals. Univision News President and Fusion CEO Isaac Lee's recent presentation at the University of Texas at Austin was certainly no exception.
Lee’s eye-popping remarks should serve as a timely reality check for conservatives looking at how to factor in Univision as part of their Hispanic outreach/inclusion strategies. During a Q&A with NYU professor Jay Rosen, Lee was asked about Univision’s “theory of trust” and truth-telling as related to impartiality and news coverage. Here is the Univision News President’s answer in all its glory.

Parte de la propaganda sobre el llamado “pago igualitario” incluyó la reciente cobertura de Univisión y Telemundo. Ambas cadenas noticiosas abordaron la controversia presentando al público solo una de las partes que alega que “las ganan el 78% de lo que ganan los hombres por hacer el mismo trabajo”.
Telemundo citó a Stephanie Román, del izquierdista Instituto de Políticas para la Mujer (IWPR- por sus siglas en inglés), quien afirmó que “las mujeres ganan el 78% de lo que ganan los hombres, para las mujeres latinas ese número es 54”. Por su parte la presentadora de Univisión, María E. Salinas, recitó algunos de los “datos” proporcionados por IWPR.

Univisión no parece detenerse ante nada para hacer ver al senador Marco Rubio como “el malo de la película” ante su audiencia.
El propósito de mostrar a Rubio como el enemigo de la comunidad inmigrante se hizo evidente desde la salida al aire de la emisión estelar del noticiero nacional de Univisión el 15 de abril. La conductora, María Elena Salinas, leyó el siguiente titular: “en una entrevista con Univisión, Marco Rubio dice que si llegara a la presidencia en algún momento, eliminaría DACA y cortaría relaciones con Cuba.”

Jorge Ramos casts a large shadow over Univision’s news operations, and is still held in high regard as a journalist among his peers and the audience he serves, notwithstanding recent exhortations to colleagues to drop the pretense of neutrality. Univision’s nationally syndicated radio operation - on the other hand - is dominated by a fiery leftist demagogue with no journalistic pretense, and no desire to pretend to be interested in offering a balanced argument to his audience.
Meet Fernando Espuelas (which means “spurs” and is, I must confess, one of the cooler names in radio). His show is carried daily by Univision America radio in several of the nation’s top Hispanic media markets.

In its recent coverage of a speech Pope Francis delivered before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Univision’s flagship national evening newscast made it seem as if the Roman Pontiff was the first in history to take science seriously.

Univision is out with another ad in partnership with the Obama administration. This time, U.S. taxpayer dollars are being spent for Univision morning show weatherwoman Ximena Córdoba to exhort beneficiaries of President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to renew the permits exempting them from deportation proceedings for another two years.

Expect Univision to be tilting even further left on climate change and environment issues from now on.
The nation’s leading Spanish-language media company announced a new partnership with the United Nations Foundation at the World Economic Forum on Latin America April 2.
