Media Bias Debate

Eleven days after a raging forest fire forced the entire town of Fort McMurray to evacuate, there is still no timeline for the displaced families to return home. The media, however, have been busy using the tragedy as yet another opportunity to promote climate change rhetoric.

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.

El programa matutino de Telemundo, Un Nuevo Día, denunció con acidez el fallo de un tribunal federal de apelaciones que sostuvo la autoridad del sheriff Joe Arpaio para hacer cumplir la ley del estado de Arizona, por la cual es un delito grave que los inmigrantes que entraron ilegalmente al país utilicen identidades robadas para obtener trabajo.

In case you didn't get the message the first or second time around, the Washington Post wants you to hear it again: Cool your complaints about the weak U.S. economy, because it's your fault. To be clear, the problem is primarily with the Post's headline — "The economy’s real drag: Us" — than with Robert J. Samuelson's content, which at least gave American consumers credit for having "sobered up…

On Tuesday, Twitchy and a number of other fine sites found what amounted to be one of the more hysterical corrections one will ever see and involved none other than everyone’s favorite liberal newspaper, The New York Times. 

On Wednesday, CBS This Morning offered a full report on “new developments in the controversy over whether Facebook censors news.” Co-host Norah O’Donnell noted: “Allegations of liberal bias are drawing scrutiny from a powerful Republican senator.... Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Thune calls the accusations serious.” In the report that followed, correspondent Jan Crawford explained: “…

Ed Rendell, the chairman of this year's Democratic National Convention, stepped in it bigtime in a Sunday interview with billionaire businessman and radio talk show host John Catsimatidis. He got in even deeper trouble with supporters of candidate Bernie Sanders when he tried to explain himself. Though there's plenty of hostility in the Republican Party these days, there's no shortage of it…

Early in Tuesday’s live coverage of the Nebraska and West Virginia primaries, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews perpetuated the notion that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton “is a safe, sort of centrist Democrat” just like Walter Mondale and “not much different from Obama” aside from a more “hawkish” foreign policy. 

Decir "construir el muro" es algo "feo y racista" para los estudiantes de una escuela secundaria del sur de California que se oponen a  Trump y aparecieron en un informe reciente de Univisión.

On Tuesday, all three network morning shows expressed shock and dismay at allegations that Facebook censored conservative political news from its supposed trending news feed. At the top of NBC’s Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie declared: “Censored by Facebook? The popular social network being accused of routinely suppressing conservative stories from its trending feed. The claim coming from former…

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski gushed over Hillary Clinton on Tuesday's Morning Joe, and lamented how her campaign staff and the press are distracting her from showing her true self: "My gut is Hillary Clinton needs to be Hillary Clinton — the one that you meet one on one....She's going to have to just be herself — because herself has always been the best thing for her." Brzezinski later contended that…

In a column that showcases the leftist belief that the ends justify the means, the Charlotte Observer and its parent company McClatchy have expressed nothing short of support for the economic boycotts of North Carolina in light of Republicans remaining defiant after Governor Pat McCrory signed a bathroom bill to ensure that people use the bathroom according to the gender they were born with.

Jorge Ramos’ weekly Al Punto program on Univision gives the nation’s leading Latino journalist-turned-activist a weekly platform for turning practically every topic to Trump. In fact, in four out of the five segments of the latest edition of the hour-long Sunday public affairs show, Ramos led guest after guest into a volley of broadsides against the GOP’s presumptive 2016 presidential nominee.
