La inmigración es el lente.

A pair of recent stories on NBC's Spanish-language sister network, Telemundo, prove that bias is everywhere and not always limited to the body of a report. As was reported on several major media outlets, the United States Supreme Court has decided it is appropriate to bar a deported foreign national from re-entry into the United States due to a prior conviction of attempted arson.

Univision’s May 19, 2016 edition of its late-night national news show Edición Nocturna featured a completely favorable story about drug legalization activist Jerónimo Saldaña, the creator and vendor of baseball caps that are stamped with the slogan “Make America Mexico Again.” Saldaña says he was inspired to start making and selling the hats after first seeing one on the Latino Rebels Facebook…

Casi un año después de que Donald Trump anunció el lanzamiento de su campaña presidencial,  Jorge Ramos finalmente decidió hacerle una entrevista a un partidario del hombre que lidera la contienda interna por la nominación desde el verano de 2015 y que ahora ha surgido como el virtual candidato republicano a la Casa Blanca.

Our friends at Fusion want your young teens to stop by the Fashion Square Mall and pick up the latest in Hijab wear. It goes fabulous with the leopard skin Fendi handbag, I’m told. Fusion, the hyper-left sister-network of Univision, continues their attempt to make Islam cool by presenting us with their latest piece titled ‘America’s first Muslim clothing store says Islamic fashion isn’t just for…

You wouldn’t know it from watching the major English or Spanish-language television networks, but while campaigning in Puerto Rico this week the socialist candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bernie Sanders, announced that if elected he would pardon Oscar López-Rivera, a man convicted for constructing bombs and training others in how to build and use them during a Marxist…

Though it certainly wasn’t their intention, a segment on Fusion’s America with Jorge Ramos featuring Mexican college students pleading with U.S. voters to reject Trump may actually end up helping the presumptive Republican nominee for President. The segment, coyly titled “Mexican College Students Ask American Voters to Think Twice Before Going to the Polls” starts out innocently enough – praising…

Azteca América, la subsidiara estadounidense de la cadena mexicana TV Azteca, se unió recientemente a otros entes mediáticos con el fin de promover un anuncio de servicio público, con el fin de impulsar a inmigrantes legales a buscar la ciudadanía doble. La campaña en sí confirma mucho de los que hemos dicho desde siempre con respecto a la prominencia del argumento migratorio dentro de los medios…

Azteca América, the U.S. subsidiary of Mexico's TV Azteca network, recently joined other networks in producing a public service announcement (PSA) for the purpose of encouraging legal immigrants to pursue dual citizenship. The campaign pretty much confirms what we've said all along regarding immigration's role in Hispanic media.

El sesgo de Univisión contra la aplicación de la ley, evidente en la forma que cubre las noticias, no se limita a ir contra el cumplimiento de las leyes de inmigración de Estados Unidos. También se extiende contra las leyes de identificación de votantes, que están dirigidas precisamente a proteger del fraude electoral y a salvaguardar la integridad del proceso electoral estadounidense.

Nearly a year after Donald Trump announced his campaign for President, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos finally decided to conduct an interview with a supporter of the candidate who consistently led the Republican presidential field since the summer of 2015, and who has now emerged as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

The anti-law enforcement bias prevalent in the way Univision covers the news isn’t limited to bias against enforcement of U.S. immigration law. It also extends to include bias against voter ID laws across the country - laws that are designed to protect against voter fraud and safeguard the integrity of the American electoral process. 

In an article titled “These black people are making a political statement by not voting in the 2016 election”, Fusion’s national political correspondent, Terrell Jermaine Starr, presents the case on why it’s justified to not vote in the upcoming election. He gives us example after example of “brave” citizens who have decided it just isn’t worth the effort to go out and follow through with their…

Como de costumbre.
