Of all the pundits out there that could make this comparison, it seems somewhat fitting and all the more amusing that on Wednesday’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews credited 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s success in polls to the idea that he’s a “comic book hero” and “Sinatra kinda guy” that connects with Republican primary voters. At the top of his MSNBC show, Matthews wondered if…

While all three networks covered the decision by NBC Universal on Monday to cut ties with 2016 Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, it was the CBS Evening News that chose to veer off and portray the ongoing battle as “a problem” for the GOP as its “trying to develop Hispanic support.” In addition, the network touted Democrats as “determined to keep Hispanics in their camp” and declined…

On Thursday night, Fox News host Megyn Kelly led with a “vicious” stunt pulled on Instagram by an official with the Spanish-language network Univision – a network that plans to host a presidential debate next year.

Si se quiere tener una idea mejor de dónde viene la parcialidad izquierdista de Univisión, solo basta echar un vistazo a los patrocinadores detrás de la programación de la cadena. Esto se hizo evidente, una vez más, durante el programa “Alivio Migratorio en Crisis”,  el cual exploró el dilema en que se encuentran las acciones ejecutivas del presidente Obama y sus beneficiarios por la Acción…

If you want to get a better idea of where Univision’s liberal bias comes from, just take a look at some of the sponsors behind the network’s programming.

Wednesday’s CBS Evening News gave President Barack Obama a boost during one of its second-half news briefs by touting his handling of a transgender, illegal immigrant heckler who complained about deportations during a White House event promoting LGBT Pride Month. In a tease to the brief, anchor Scott Pelley gushed: “President Obama smacks down an unruly guest at the White House.

If one thing can be counted on since Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) announced his presidential campaign, it’s that the nation’s top Spanish-language networks will give more coverage to the pro-amnesty protesters stalking the Senator’s campaign and interrupting his speeches than to the substance of what is happening and what Rubio is actually saying at those events. 

Si el algo puede darse por sentado desde que el senador Marco Rubio (R-FL) anunció su candidatura presidencial, es que la mayores cadenas de habla hispana dedicarán más tiempo en el aire a manifestantes pro-amnistía, acosando a Rubio e interrumpiendo sus discursos, que al contenido noticioso de lo que está sucediendo y a lo que Senador está diciendo en estos eventos.
