Mexico

New information has emerged since our previous update on the Mexico City fiasco, which ensued when a woman was wrongfully introduced as a Univision journalist before proceeding to egregiously flatter Vice President Kamala Harris. Since then, the White House has issued a statement and we’ve completed a full transcript review, after which we can safely conclude that there is trickery afoot.

La extraña historia de María Fernanda Reyes, la activista que se hizo pasar por reportera de Univisión y que alardeó a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris el martes en la noche en Ciudad México, parece llegar a su fin. Aparentemente, el malentendido no se debió a un sesgo exagerado, sino a la incompetencia del personal de la Casa Blanca.

La horrible, terrible, nada de buena, pésima semana de la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris con Univisión sigue en viento en popa. En lo que pudo haber sido una entrevista diseñada para lavar cara después del "No vengan" y el fiasco en Ciudad…

Vice President Kamala Harris’ Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Week with Univision continues apace. In what could have been a Thursday night interview designed to mop up after “Don’t Come” and the Mexico City fiasco, Harris curtly shut down anchor Ilia Calderón’s follow-up question on, you guessed it, the border.

Imagine you're a legit reporter given the opportunity to interview Biden's Communications Director about Kamala Harris's recent trip to Guatemala and Mexico, the first questions you'd ask would surely be along the lines: "Does President Biden want Harris to visit the border? If so, why hasn't she visited, and when will she? If he doesn't want her to visit, why not?" Trick question: we said "…

​Cuando "María Fernanda de Univisión" tomó el micrófono el martes por la noche y le hizo una pregunta halagadora a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris al concluir su viaje a México, parecía que el día de adulación de Univisión iba en picada. Pero la verdad podría ser peor de lo que aparenta.

​Millones de televidentes de NBC y usuarios de redes sociales en todo el país vieron como la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris mintió descaradamente y bromeó con el presentador de NBC Today, Lester Holt, durante una entrevista sobre su visita a Guatemala y México que subió al aire el 8 de junio. Sin embargo, a las audiencias de Telemundo sólo les sirvieron migajas con una versión…

Millions of NBC viewers and social media users across the nation watched as Vice President Kamala Harris openly lied, and cracked jokes to NBC’s Today host Lester Holt during a June 8th interview about her visit to Guatemala and Mexico. However, Telemundo's audience was treated to the crumbs- getting only an edited version of the exchange that purposely scrubbed her utter disregard for…

The strange tale of María Fernanda Reyes, the activist who passed herself off as a Univision reporter and gushed all over Vice President Kamala Harris in Mexico City, appears to be drawing to a close. It appears that the kerfuffle was not the result of over-the-top media bias, but of basic incompetence by White House staff.

In the face of the overwhelming criticism Kamala Harris has received for her failure to visit the US/Mexico border and her disastrously bad answer to Lester Holt's question about her plans to do so, Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski insists that nonetheless, Kamala deserves credit for going to Central American countries and "getting in the face" of leaders there.

When "María Fernanda from Univision" took the mic on Tuesday night and asked Vice President Kamala Harris a flattering question to cap off her trip to Mexico, it seemed like Univision's sycophantic day had taken a turn for the worse. But the truth might be far worse than what it seems.

Por si acaso le interesa saber cómo le va a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris en su paso por Guatemala y México, ahora Univisión gentilmente le recuerda a sus televidentes en un informe empalagoso, que Harris tiene una prima mexicana. 

In case you're wondering how Vice President Kamala Harris' swing through Guatemala and Mexico is going, Univision is now helpfully (and sycophantically) reminding viewers that Harris has a Mexican cousin.

This wasn't a softball interview. It didn't even rise to powder-puff level. This was a love-in. Dana Bash's interview of Vice-President Kamala Harris on CNN's State of the Union that aired on April 25th was nothing short of a journalistic disgrace. Among other failures, Bash didn't ask Harris the most obvious question: why, despite being put in charge of the border crisis by Biden a month…
