Demonization on Immigration Continues at Univision, Telemundo
As we reach the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, one thing remains a constant at Univision and Telemundo: the careless and calumnious characterization of Donald Trump's pro-law enforcement immigration policy as "anti-immigrant." During recent coverage of International Migrants Day marches in New York City and Los Angeles, Telemundo's news anchors essentially adopted the marchers' anti-Trump…

Shock Story: Telemundo Reports on Lawful Gun Ownership In Mexico
From time to time, reports come out that are so counternarrative that they merit an extended look. Just such a story caught our attention on a recent edition of Noticiero Telemundo. It was shocking to see a gun ownership story that featured no link to a domestic gun control agena item, that didn't blame Mexico's cartel violence on the Second Amendment, or went without blaming the "very powerful…

Telemundo Solves Riddle Of Latino Trump Voters With Actual Journalism
The question hangs heavy over our domestic Spanish-language news media: "Why did Hispanics vote for Donald Trump?" As the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States continues to approach, our two leading networks took widely divergent approaches to this question.

Hypocrisy: Fusion Slams A&E For Doing What Fusion Did Two Months Ago
A&E is set to air an eight-part series in January titled Generation KKK. Fusion has something to say about this, but their protestations are likely to fall on deaf ears.

No 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays' In Univision's Holiday Video
Univision continues its gallant resistance against the seismic results of this election. As Donald Trump declares that "It is OK to say Merry Christmas again", Univision responds with a holiday video that bravely transcends "Merry Christmas" and even refuses to wish you "Happy Holidays".

Univision Set to Ruin Sports for U.S. Latinos with Own ESPYs
Having learned nothing from Hispanics' broad rejection of its preachy platform-wide agenda, Univision is now set to broadcast its own ESPY-like show.

Jorge Ramos Comes Out Against Deportation of Criminal Aliens
This interview is perhaps the most consequential to emerge from Univision's still-smoking post-electoral rubble. Over the course of a few minutes, we are shown a definitive editorial direction, and we are treated to admissions that were unimaginable a little over a month ago.

Ramos Takes Anti-Trump Campaign to the Pope
For Jorge Ramos, evidently the greatest moral imperative in his life is to thwart the enforcement of U.S. immigration law. What else can explain the decision of the self-professed former Catholic, agnostic senior news anchor of Univision to use the fleeting seconds of his only encounter to date with Pope Francis to plead on behalf of 'the immigrants who Trump wants to deport'?

Cognitive Dissonance on Display at Al Punto
It is clear that many at Univision are still trying to process what happened last month. This much was evident on the most recent edition of the network's weekly public affairs program, Al Punto, as both host and guest struggled to understand the outcome of the election.

'The Dictator Is Dead': Ramos Shames Rest of Castro-Worshipping Media
It took Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos all of three seconds to set the tone of the post-Fidel Castro edition of his weekly public affairs shows, Al Punto. With a single sentence, Ramos put the rest of the establishment media to shame.

Post-Election Layoffs at Univision
We recently reported on how Univision was the biggest media loser from this election cycle, given all that was at stake for the network. Those ramifications have begun to play out in real time and are now affecting real lives.

Jorge Ramos Lost All His Credibility And Learned Nothing
As we mentioned earlier, no media outlet had a bigger stake in this presidential election (and lost more resoundingly) than Univision. On an individual basis, there is no larger loser than the network's star anchor Jorge Ramos.

Election 2016 Recap: Univision Lost Bigly
It is a matter of record that establishment national media lost big on Election Day, having been stunned by the election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency of the United States. But the network that had the most at stake and lost the most in this election seems to have also learned the least.
