MRC Latino

​A look at MRC Latino's archives reveals a moment between Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos and former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke which explains why Joe Biden might have thought he had standing to weigh in on the ethnic authenticity of others, as evidenced by his recent "you ain't Black" gaffe.

Las cadenas en español de la nación están cada vez más desesperadas por empujar su pornografía de pánico ante el coronavirus. Ahora lo último es su obsesión con la admisión del presidente Trump de tomar hidroxicloroquina como profilaxis.

The nation's Spanish-speaking networks are increasingly desperate to push their coronavirus panic-porn morning, day and night. As of late, they’ve become fixated with President Trump's admission of taking hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis. As can be expected, sarcasm and skepticism about the treatment pervaded the airwaves, with the nets' anchors insisting that the drug is ineffective against…

El estudio más reciente de MRC Latino muestra el extremo al que llegaron los principales noticieros en español del país para no reportar el auge en el empleo hispano, y sí dedicarle tiempo de sobra al histórico colapso en empleos ocasionado por la pandemia del coronavirus, de acuerdo con el informe de desempleo para el mes de abril de 2020.

MRC Latino’s most recent study shows the extent to which the nation’s most widely-viewed Spanish-language newscasts neglected covering the Hispanic jobs boom, while giving more than ample time to the historic jobs collapse due to the coronavirus pandemic, as reflected in the April 2020 unemployment report. 

Today’s Telemundo report on President Trump’s decision to take hydroxychloroquine, under the supervision of the White House physician, is certain to go down in the annals as one of the biggest fake news pieces of 2020. 

Even though the FDA says the use of Hydroxychloroquine was up to a patient and their doctor, Monday’s evening newscasts saw ABC, CBS, and NBC clutch their pearls after President Trump admitted he’s been taking the anti-Malaria drug for several days to prevent catching coronavirus. Acting as though he was self-medicating and not telling viewers that the drug needed a prescription to obtain it,…

A Telemundo breaking news report about Facebook’s April deletion of “nearly 2,000 accounts that attack immigrants, promote racism and spread false information,” not only pointed an accusatory finger at Trump followers but dated the event, originally announced on May 5th, as taking place “today”.

Un informe de última hora de Telemundo sobre la eliminación por parte de Facebook en abril de "casi 2.000 cuentas que atacan a inmigrantes, promueven el racismo y difunden información falsa", no sólo apuntó con un dedo acusatorio a los seguidores de Trump, sino que puso la fecha de "hoy" a un suceso que se anunció el 5 de mayo.

Telemundo took its reporting on businesses that have suffered losses due to the coronavirus pandemic to the next level. In a report that both highlights the extent to which immigration is key to the network’s survival and serves to illustrate Telemundo’s flair for the absurd, the network gave airtime to a down-on-his-luck coyote.

Previamente, MRC Latino analizó la falta de cobertura de las acusaciones serias que pesan contra el virtual candidato a la presidencia por el Partido Demócrata, el ex vicepresidente Joe Biden, en los medios de habla hispana de Estados Unidos- las cuales recibieron 38 veces menos cobertura que las acusaciones de improperio sexual contra el juez Brett Kavanaugh. Pero las cadenas hicieron mejor…

The nation’s domestic Spanish-language networks made more than enough time to report Gen. Michael Flynn’s entry into a plea deal with federal prosecutors on December 1st, 2017, as it fueled the narrative of a Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. But the networks didn’t show as much enthusiasm when the Justice Department dropped the charges against Flynn.

Expressly biased reporting is alive and well at Univision, especially when given the chance to push their political agenda with one-sided stories that air with no debate: unquestioned and unchallenged. This hasty report by Washington correspondent Edwin Pitti, regarding a fifth economic aid package, warned about a “new political battle between Republicans and Democrats”, wherein the Dems were…

El show matutino de Telemundo, Un Nuevo Día, hizo un flaco servicio a todas las mujeres - en particular a las hispanas de la nación– al invitar a Catherine Cortez Masto, (D-NV), la primera senadora latina en los Estados Unidos, para una entrevista inconsecuente donde pasó por alto las recientes acusaciones de acoso sexual que hiciera Tara Reade contra el exsenador; Read trabajó en el senado.…
