Protestas contra Hillary censuradas por Univisión y Telemundo
Mientras muchos concentraban su atención en el tuit de Donald Trump sobre el Cinco de Mayo, cientos de personas protestaban un mitin de Hillary Clinton celebrando esa fecha mexicana la semana pasada en el East Los Angeles College.

Pro-Sanctuary City Coverage Dominates Telemundo
It’s a pretty safe bet that you’ll never see much of the pro-law enforcement side of any news story on NBC’s Spanish-language sister network, Telemundo. That was the case again this week, as the network once again failed to fairly cover anti-sanctuary city views, just as officials in San Francisco were debating their sanctuary city policy.
NYT Shills for Hill on Front, Plays Everyone-Does-It Defense on Email
Hillary Clinton’s road to the Democratic nomination may be strewn with stones like Bernie Sanders, who won the West Virginia primary Tuesday night. But Clinton can always count on rock-solid support from her base at the New York Times.

El programa matutino de Telemundo, Un Nuevo Día, denunció con acidez el fallo de un tribunal federal de apelaciones que sostuvo la autoridad del sheriff Joe Arpaio para hacer cumplir la ley del estado de Arizona, por la cual es un delito grave que los inmigrantes que entraron ilegalmente al país utilicen identidades robadas para obtener trabajo.
WashPost Headline Says 'The Economy's Real Drag' Is 'Us'
In case you didn't get the message the first or second time around, the Washington Post wants you to hear it again: Cool your complaints about the weak U.S. economy, because it's your fault.
To be clear, the problem is primarily with the Post's headline — "The economy’s real drag: Us" — than with Robert J. Samuelson's content, which at least gave American consumers credit for having "sobered up…
Barely News: Rendell Says Sanders' Delegates Must 'Behave' in Philly
Ed Rendell, the chairman of this year's Democratic National Convention, stepped in it bigtime in a Sunday interview with billionaire businessman and radio talk show host John Catsimatidis. He got in even deeper trouble with supporters of candidate Bernie Sanders when he tried to explain himself.
Though there's plenty of hostility in the Republican Party these days, there's no shortage of it…

Trashing Trump: Jorge Ramos Bordering On Obsessive
Latino
Jorge Ramos’ weekly Al Punto program on Univision gives the nation’s leading Latino journalist-turned-activist a weekly platform for turning practically every topic to Trump. In fact, in four out of the five segments of the latest edition of the hour-long Sunday public affairs show, Ramos led guest after guest into a volley of broadsides against the GOP’s presumptive 2016 presidential nominee.

Earnest Can't Deny That Admin Lied About Iran Deal, Then Backtracks
At today's White House press briefing, Kevin Corke of Fox News asked Press Secretary Josh Earnest: "Can you state categorically that no senior official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear deal?" The answer: "No Kevin."
Four or five seconds of silence followed. Then Earnest spent two minutes building his own catalog of lies and half-truths about the…

Latino
At the same time so many people were focused on Donald Trump’s Cinco de Mayo tweet, hundreds of others were actually protesting Hillary Clinton’s Cinco de Mayo rally last week at East Los Angeles College. But the nation’s leading Spanish-language television networks, Univision and Telemundo, entirely blacked out the story on their national evening news programs.
Ex-Facebook Employees Confess Site Censored Conservative News
In an extensive and troubling piece filed on Monday, former Facebook employees admitted to the tech site Gizmodo (an arm of Gawker Media) that the social media platform “routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers” and included instances such as the IRS scandal and the late Chris Kyle, where the site’s “news curators” censored topics in favor of other ones that weren’t…

MSNBC Hosts: Bill Clinton’s Affairs Were Only ‘Alleged'
In an utterance that could only be described as outrageous and irresponsible, MSNBC hosts Tamron Hall and Thomas Roberts went unchallenged by their combined four guests Monday morning and afternoon as they claimed that Bill Clinton’s voluminous instances of marital infidelity were just “alleged affairs” or “alleged misconduct” in context of Donald Trump invoking them over the weekend.

Not News: Kerry Tells Grads We're in a 'Borderless' World
Based on the content of John Kerry's Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, one might have expected that those in attendance threw away their passports after the event ended.
That's because the Obama administration's Secretary of State told those in attendance: "You’re about to graduate into a complex and borderless world." Kerry's extraordinarily dense, naive and dangerous…

Joy Reid's Kind of Republican Calls Trump a 'Fascist'
We made it a point to tune into Joy Reid's debut this morning in the MSNBC slot formerly occupied by Melissa Harris-Perry. For anyone who imagined Reid might be more fair-and-balanced than MH-P: fuggedaboutit. After an all-liberal opening panel blamed Bernie Sanders for failing to adequately address the concerns of African-Americans, the remainder of the show was one, long, hate-Trump fest.

CNN and NY Times Fail to Label This Convicted NY Democrat
Forner New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Monday after being convicted last year "in a $5 million corruption case alleging he traded favors to enrich himself and then lied about it."
Perhaps cognizant of the fact that media watchers are looking over their shoulders, the primary dispatch and several other news stories at the Associated…
