Latino
Estos días, lo que es la marca de Noticias Univisión gira en torno a la estridencia con la que cubre el tema migratorio.

NYT's Texas Reporter Intimidated by ‘Hard-Right' 'Paranoia’ of Texans
The front of Sunday’s New York Times National section was swallowed up by an essay from Texas correspondent Manny Fernandez, “A Look at What Makes Texas Texas,” a cultural cringe in 1,700 words from Fernandez. The reporter moved to Houston from Brooklyn to cover the state for the NYT, and he still seems slightly freaked by his “hard-right” neighbors and the “fear, anger and sometimes paranoia…
Slate Writer: GOP Angry That Evenly Split SCOTUS Can’t ‘Screw’ Obama

Not News: Once-Deported Illegal-Immigrant Driver Kills Father, 2 Girls
In a properly functioning news environment, where genuine journalists recognize important news and report it without first screening its relevance through a PC filter, the deaths of volunteer firefighter Peter Hacking and his two young daughters in a car crash near Wylie, Texas last week would have become a widely covered national story by now.

NYT's One-Sided Coverage of Texas Abortion Regs at SCOTUS Continues
The New York Times really despises the Texas law raising safety standards for abortion clinics, and its reporting makes no effort to hide it.

The headline summed up the paper’s…

Brian Williams Thinks Pulled Pork Is a Texas BBQ Tradition, Apparently
OK, so this isn't bias, but it is a funny little gaffe. Apparently New Jersey native Brian Williams thinks pulled pork is a Texas barbecue delicacy. It's not. Texas BBQ is known for beef brisket. For her part, fellow MSNBCer Rachel Maddow, who hails from California, politely corrected him.
NYT's Greenhouse Hits Scalia, Says TX Abortion Law Bash Just 'Facts'
As Supreme Court arguments loom next week for an abortion-rights case in Texas, the New York Times went all-in, with its former Supreme Court reporter and fervent abortion supporter Linda Greenhouse making the case on the front of the Sunday Review section.

Gawker On ‘13 Hours’: Its ‘Moral Landscape…Is Poisonous’
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is, of course, part of the Bible Belt. Nonetheless, according to Christopher Hooks, another faith flourishes there: “It’s also a place that’s responsible in large part for the rise of the new civic religion built around the worship of the most lethal among us.”
Hooks, an Austin-based journalist, was one of about 30,000 persons who attended last week’s world premiere of…
Bozell & Graham Column: Liberals Losing the Culture Wars?
The libertine Left has done a lot of boasting over the last several years about the inevitability of History vanquishing every corner of American social conservatism.
