You wouldn’t know it from watching the major English or Spanish-language television networks, but while campaigning in Puerto Rico this week the socialist candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bernie Sanders, announced that if elected he would pardon Oscar López-Rivera, a man convicted for constructing bombs and training others in how to build and use them during a Marxist…

Though it certainly wasn’t their intention, a segment on Fusion’s America with Jorge Ramos featuring Mexican college students pleading with U.S. voters to reject Trump may actually end up helping the presumptive Republican nominee for President. The segment, coyly titled “Mexican College Students Ask American Voters to Think Twice Before Going to the Polls” starts out innocently enough – praising…

Azteca América, la subsidiara estadounidense de la cadena mexicana TV Azteca, se unió recientemente a otros entes mediáticos con el fin de promover un anuncio de servicio público, con el fin de impulsar a inmigrantes legales a buscar la ciudadanía doble. La campaña en sí confirma mucho de los que hemos dicho desde siempre con respecto a la prominencia del argumento migratorio dentro de los medios…

Azteca América, the U.S. subsidiary of Mexico's TV Azteca network, recently joined other networks in producing a public service announcement (PSA) for the purpose of encouraging legal immigrants to pursue dual citizenship. The campaign pretty much confirms what we've said all along regarding immigration's role in Hispanic media.

Se puede apostar con bastante seguridad a que en las noticias difundidas por Telemundo, la cadena hermana en español de NBC, no se verá mucho del lado de quienes favorecen la aplicación de la ley. Ese fue el caso esta semana, cuando una vez más la cadena pasó por alto los argumentos de quienes se oponen a las ciudades santuario mientras las autoridades de San Francisco debatían precisamente esa…

El sesgo de Univisión contra la aplicación de la ley, evidente en la forma que cubre las noticias, no se limita a ir contra el cumplimiento de las leyes de inmigración de Estados Unidos. También se extiende contra las leyes de identificación de votantes, que están dirigidas precisamente a proteger del fraude electoral y a salvaguardar la integridad del proceso electoral estadounidense.

Nearly a year after Donald Trump announced his campaign for President, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos finally decided to conduct an interview with a supporter of the candidate who consistently led the Republican presidential field since the summer of 2015, and who has now emerged as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

The anti-law enforcement bias prevalent in the way Univision covers the news isn’t limited to bias against enforcement of U.S. immigration law. It also extends to include bias against voter ID laws across the country - laws that are designed to protect against voter fraud and safeguard the integrity of the American electoral process. 

In an article titled “These black people are making a political statement by not voting in the 2016 election”, Fusion’s national political correspondent, Terrell Jermaine Starr, presents the case on why it’s justified to not vote in the upcoming election. He gives us example after example of “brave” citizens who have decided it just isn’t worth the effort to go out and follow through with their…

Como de costumbre.

El programa semanal de Jorge Ramos Al Punto en Univisión le da al periodista convertido en activista una plataforma semanal para redirigir prácticamente todos los temas hacia Trump.

Now that Donald Trump stands alone as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, it was only a matter of time. Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos has finally penned his primary postmortem, in which he predictably dumps all over Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Mientras muchos concentraban su atención en el tuit de Donald Trump sobre el Cinco de Mayo, cientos de personas protestaban un mitin de Hillary Clinton celebrando esa fecha mexicana la semana pasada en el East Los Angeles College. Pero las cadenas líderes de la televisión en español del país, Univisión y Telemundo, censuraron totalmente la historia en sus noticieros nocturnos nacionales.

It’s a pretty safe bet that you’ll never see much of the pro-law enforcement side of any news story on NBC’s Spanish-language sister network, Telemundo. That was the case again this week, as the network once again failed to fairly cover anti-sanctuary city views, just as officials in San Francisco were debating their sanctuary city policy.
