Telemundo

Over a two-week period, the principal national evening newscasts of the nation’s leading Spanish-language television networks, Univision and Telemundo, dedicated over an hour of coverage to Donald Trump sex talk and subsequent allegations of misconduct by various women, in comparison to just over 12 minutes to the avalanche of red flags about Hillary Clinton and her campaign that have been…

El patrón de la cobertura noticiosa de la filtración en el mismo día de los comentarios vulgares de Donald Trump sobre las mujeres en comparación con los comprometedores mensajes de correo electrónico provenientes desde adentro de la campaña de Clinton, ilustran el alcance impactante del sesgo político que sigue dominando los programas noticiosos de las dos cadenas de televisión en español más…

The pattern of news coverage following the same-day leak of both Donald Trump’s off-color, 2005 hot mic comments alongside compromising emails from within the Clinton campaign illustrates the staggering extent of the political bias that continues to dominate the morning and evening news programs on the nation’s top two Spanish-language television networks.

“Esa cosa mexicana” – la frase del candidato a la vice presidencia Mike Pence expresando su exasperación hacia las repetidas referencias incompletas y tontamente deshonestas al discurso hecho por Donald Trump al anunciar su campaña presidencial – está bajo distorsión y caracterización negativa por los presentadores principales de las dos cadenas más grandes de televisión en español, Jorge Ramos…

A pesar de la importancia de las creencias católica y cristiana evangélica entre la población hispana de Estados Unidos, los esfuerzos de los candidatos presidenciales para involucrar a los votantes desde una perspectiva religiosa están casi totalmente ausente en la cobertura noticiosa de las dos cadenas líderes de televisión en español, Univisión y Telemundo, en lo que va de la campaña electoral…

“That Mexican thing” - Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence’s phrase expressing his exasperation at Senator Tim Kaine’s repeated crassly dishonest, incomplete reference to remarks made by Donald Trump upon announcing his presidential campaign – is itself now being distorted and negatively characterized by the chief news anchors of the nation’s top two Spanish-language television…

Despite the prominence of both the Catholic and Evangelical Christian faith among the nation’s Hispanic population, so far during this general election campaign season the efforts by the presidential candidates to engage voters from a faith perspective have been almost entirely absent from the news coverage of the two leading Spanish-language television networks, Univision and Telemundo. 

El sesgo mediático no se refleja tan sólo en lo que se reporta, sino en lo que no se reporta. Recientemente, vimos un ejemplo de tales sesgos.

Bias in the media is not just reflected in what is reported, but also through that which goes unreported. Yesterday, we found our most recent example of such biases. On Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey came before the House Judiciary Committee and was questioned regarding the manner in which the agency handled its investigation of Hillary Clinton's private server scandal. But the story was…

Univisión y Telemundo informan que hubo un aumento en el paso de inmigrantes no autorizados a través de la frontera desde México hacia Estados Unidos. Pero en marcado contraste, las cadenas de habla inglesa ABC, CBS y NBC todavía no han informado sobre esta tendencia creciente.

Cortesía del Noticiero Telemundo nos llega uno de los ejemplos más extraños y desfachatados de cobertura noticiosa viciada que verán.

From a recent Noticiero Telemundo newscast, this is one of the stranger (and more grossly blatant) examples of media bias that you'll find. Here is how anchor María Celeste Arrarás introduced a story on how 1 out 4 Americans refuse to stop working while sick:

Following the two weekend terrorist attacks carried out by naturalized US citizens, the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general announced Monday that 800 individuals slipped through the cracks and were wrongly granted citizenship. And yet, ABC and NBC failed to report it that evening, while CBS buried it in a Donald Trump report with no context. 

Univision and Telemundo are reporting on the increased influx of unauthorized immigrants coming across Mexico’s border with the United States. In contrast, Univision and Telemundo’s English-language counterparts at ABC, CBS and NBC have yet to report on the trend.
