When it comes to coverage of the serious allegations levied against former Vice President Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade, the nation’s Spanish-language national news media have been conspicuously absent. MRC Latino’s most recent study shows that, predictably, this wasn’t always the case.  

Even though former Vice President Joe Biden has become the presumptive Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election, he has come under fire from two famous supporters of Bernie Sanders. During the past week, actor John Cusack has called on the Massachusetts senator to “unsuspend his campaign immediately,” and actress Susan Sarandon has expressed support for Tara Reade, a former…

Liberal comedian Samantha Bee sat down with Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) on Wednesday’s edition of Full Frontal.

I want that so bad.”

The Obamas were awarded a book deal worth an estimated $65 million for their memoirs, hers and then his. They also struck an estimated $50 million production deal with Netflix. (We don’t have actual numbers. Could someone in the media ask for a tax return?) Now, with this self-aggrandizing documentary about Michelle's book tour on Netflix, the second deal is being used to accentuate the profits…

In season two of CW’s In the Dark, Murphy (Perry Mattfeld), Jess (Brooke Markham), and Felix (Morgan Krantz) are in the shady business of laundering money for crime boss Nia (Nicki Micheaux). To better protect himself, Felix decides to borrow a gun from his mother.

On the late Wednesday/early Thursday edition of the Late Night show on NBC, host Seth Meyers excoriated the "conservative movement" as a "fraud' as he attacked Vice President Mike Pence for not wearing a mask to visit a Mayo clinic, Fox News hosts for pushing to begin reopening the economy, and FreedomWorks for applying for a federal government loan.

Finally, the evening newscasts of ABC and CBS broke their silence on the rape accusation against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. While their respective morning newscasts had already covered the topic, Thursday night was the first time NBC News had dared to give it airtime. The contrast was stark in how they covered the accusations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, where their mission was…

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell is determined show to prove that in any crisis, women are the hardest hit.

Telemundo's morning kaffeeklatsch, Un Nuevo Día, did a shameful disservice to all of the nation's women -Hispanic women in particular – by bringing in Catherine Cortez Masto, (D-NV), the first Latina senator in the United States, for a softball interview that made zero reference to the recent accusations of sexual harassment against the former senator by then staffer Tara Reade. Cortez Masto has…

Twitter’s rules against “misinformation” don’t apply to everyone. The platform didn’t stop a full-blown anti-American propaganda video from being released by the Chinese government. And this isn’t the first time Twitter allowed Chinese propaganda. The Chinese Embassy in France uploaded an absurd, lego-based propaganda video at 10:54 a.m. Apr 30. The Ambassade de Chine en France’s video “Once Upon…

After ignoring it for 36 days, ABC News on Thursday finally covered the sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden.

Twitter does not seem to have a direct answer as to whether or not it has reduced visibility for President Donald Trump’s Twitter account.

On Thursday, MSNBC repeatedly teed up Democratic senators to argue that the U.S. Senate should not reconvene because doing so may allow Republicans to fill judicial vacancies with conservative nominees. Both the journalists and the liberal lawmakers insisted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was “endangering the lives” of Capitol Hill staff amid the coronavirus pandemic.
