James Comey

On MSNBC Live October 31, Clinton surrogate James Carville got into a heated exchange with anchor Thomas Roberts over the renewed FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. Carville, a staunch Clinton supporter, became angry at Roberts for not parroting his viewpoint that Republicans were trying to influence the election. From the get-go, Carville repeatedly made ludicrous claims about the…

Reacting to news that the FBI had released documentation on former President Bill Clinton's controversial pardon of Marc Rich from 2001, CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin exasperatedly declared that the agency was either being "oblivious and incompetent" or "actively partisan" in the presidential race. He later observed that the document release "makes the FBI look like a wing of the…

The uproar engendered by the Comey letter illuminates how Clinton-haters start with a conclusion and work backwards, suggests Matthew Yglesias. “The latest Hillary Clinton email revelations arose out of an unrelated investigation into Anthony Weiner’s sexting,” wrote Yglesias in a Monday piece. “The best way to understand this odd hopscotch is through the Prime Directive of Clinton investigations…

The New York Times frantically played defense for Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s edition, as her smooth ride to victory encountered some unexpected turbulence in the form of FBI director James Comey’s letter to Congress. The ghost of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover hovered over the front page the day after Halloween, and the lead editorial tut-tutted over “James Comey’s Big Mistake.”

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos apparently finds Trump’s tax returns more scandalous than the Secretary of State’s compromised private e-mail server. On Good Morning America Tuesday, Stephanopoulos neglected to ask Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook any direct questions about the renewed FBI investigation into her e-mails, and completely neglected to ask any questions about Donna Brazile. Brazile…

Uno de los tipos de sesgo mediático más insidiosos ocurre cuando el presentador de noticias -también conocido como ancla- enmarca una noticia neutral de manera viciada. El ejemplo más reciente de esto nos llega a través de la cobertura que Telemundo brindó a la reapertura de la pesquisa del escándalo de los emails de Hillary Clinton por el FBI.

One of the most insidious forms of bias in the media is through anchor framing of an otherwise neutral story. The most recent example comes via Telemundo's coverage of the reopened FBI investigation into the Clinton e-mail scandal.

In the wake of the FBI’s announcement on Friday, that they discovered new e-mails possibly pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s private server, the liberal networks have taken every opportunity to slam FBI Director James Comey and cast doubt on his investigation. It was the exact same thing on Monday as ABC, CBS, and NBC joined the “chorus” of Democrats criticizing the FBI Director.

CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin continued vocalizing his opposition on Monday afternoon to FBI Director James Comey’s Friday letter revealing the discovery of new e-mails in the Hillary Clinton investigation as having “violat[ed]” a “principle” of the Justice Department to not “interfere in elections” but instead “go dark.”

Ever since it was announced, on Friday, that the FBI was pursuing new leads into the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server scandal, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks have gone into attack mode against James Comey, turning what should be a scandal about Clinton into a smear against the FBI director. 

2016 is the election season in which Univision/Fusion anchor jorge Ramos finally emerged from his journalist shell and engaged in full activism, going so far as to cast judgment upon those who may disagree with him. But as the election draws to a close, it is Ramos who may face judgment...from his own words.

New York Times columnist and Democratic hack Paul Krugman tweeted paranoia on Friday alleging that FBI Director James Comey was rigging the election for Trump, by informing Congress of an update in the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Krugman didn’t dare go that far in print in his Monday column, but he did bring some extra brio to his tired, false trope about Republicans…

The more things change the more they stay the same. Let’s begin with a specific Sunday. October 21, 1973. The three tier headline of The New York Times, all in capital letters, covered the entire top of the paper in true banner style. It read as follows: NIXON DISCHARGES COX FOR DEFIANCE; ABOLISHES WATERGATE TASK FORCE; RICHARDSON AND RUCKELSHAUS OUT

El pasado viernes, el director del FBI -James Comey- anunció la reapertura de la investigación en torno a los emails de Hillary Clinton; estremeciendo así el mundo de la política y de los medios. Pero también le brindó a Univision una oportunidad dorada.
