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.

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."

Anti-Hillary Protests Blacked Out By Univision, Telemundo
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…

Of Course: Press Blame Long Airport Lines on TSA ‘Budget Cuts’
Almost any time a government agency or program fails to perform, those involved complain that they don't have enough money to properly do their jobs. Unless the matter involves national defense, the press gullibly swallows their contentions.
The Transportation Safety Administration is the latest case in point. Lines at airport security checkpoints are already getting noticeably longer, and we…
ESPN's Justice Warriors Prod LeBron for Quitting Gun-Control Activism
ESPN, not content to cover sports, wants in on the burgeoning social-justice market as well. In “Waiting for LeBron," an ESPN magazine essay, Washington Post reporter Eli Saslow pondered why Cleveland Cavaliers basketball legend LeBron James backed off his brief anti-gun activism. Saslow’s histrionic analysis of James “the athlete and the activist” makes it clear that LeBron has (somehow) let…

Univision, Telemundo omiten las causas del impago de Puerto Rico
Quienes dependían de Telemundo o de Univisión para enterarse de cómo Puerto Rico cayó en la cesación de pagos más grande de su historia el primero de mayo de 2016, tendrían que ser perdonados por no tener absolutamente ninguna idea acerca de las verdaderas causas del incumplimiento, que incluye un aparato del sector público que se ha mantenido patéticamente adicto a incurrir en gastos…
AP Uses Soldier's Death to Smear His Grandfather (See Update)
The establishment press seemingly never misses an opportunity to smear a conservative's or businessperson's reputation upon their death. For those who need reminders, see how the Associated Press went after Tony Snow in 2008 and how the New York Times treated Cracker Barrel founder Danny Evins in 2012. Today, the AP took matters a step further, using the occasion of a soldier's death to smear his…
