UPDATE: Univision, ‘Maria Fernanda’ Blame WH for Kamala Presser Flap
The strange tale of María Fernanda Reyes, the activist who passed herself off as a Univision reporter and gushed all over Vice President Kamala Harris in Mexico City, appears to be drawing to a close. It appears that the kerfuffle was not the result of over-the-top media bias, but of basic incompetence by White House staff.
HACKS at CBS: ‘Border Backlash’ Against Harris Is GOP ‘Pure Politics'

Suck-Up: NYT Reporter, Psaki Mock GOP ‘Going Crazy’ Over Kamala
With Tuesday serving as the final White House press briefing for at least week due to President Biden’s trip to Europe, liberal reporters had one more chance to perform for the cameras and/or suck up to Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Unfortunately, PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor, The New York Times’s Katie Rogers, and The Grio’s April Ryan seemed to be more Stelter than, say, Fox’s Peter Doocy.…
ABC, CBS Ignore Harris’s Border Blunder, Tout Her Snapping at Critics
As NewsBusters documented on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a colossal blunder when pressed by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt on why she hadn’t visited the U.S.-Mexico border despite being the point person on the crisis.

Outlandish MSNBC Claim: There's No Crisis at the Southern Border
It is no surprise that MSNBC has continued its relentless campaign of praising the Biden administration for anything and everything, even if it’s cringeworthy and unclear like Vice President Kamala Harris’s focus on immigration.

Guatemala Kamala: Holt Boasts Harris Is '1,500 Miles from the Border'
Back in March, President Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the point person to handle the illegal immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.

And during the Monday newscast of NBC Nightly…
NBC Admits the Border Is Not Closed, Despite Assertions By Biden Flack
For months now, NewsBusters has documented how NBC Nightly News had danced around the margins and largely refused to call the situation at the border a “crisis.” But on Wednesday, weekday anchor Lester “fairness is overrated” Holt had handed over the reins to Sunday anchor Kate Snow, the truth finally broke through. Not only did Snow admit that there was a crisis, but correspondent…

Nets Skip Sex Offenders at the Border, Polls Show Narrative Sundered
When it came to immigration, President Biden’s left flank was completely covered by the broadcast networks that brushed the worst-than-ever border crisis under the rug.

All of this came as ABC, CBS, and NBC skipped new reporting on how Border…
MSNBC's Hypocrite: See When Heilemann Is Okay with Holocaust Metaphors
Appearing as a guest on Monday's Deadline: White House, MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann threw stones in the MSNBC glass house as he hypocritically slammed the GOP over Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene making an over the top comparison between wearing masks during the pandemic and the Holocaust, and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy so far not speaking…
