Jorge Ramos

In recent weeks, Univision News has offered fresh demonstrations that its biases extend far beyond immigration. The two examples below give us a further glimpse into the leading U.S. Spanish-language network’s institutional biases, and its commitment to progressive politics.

Readers of this byline know that I have been a relentless critic of Univision’s news division. These criticisms have covered the network’s biased coverage of the news of the day, its institutional practice of advocacy journalism in furtherance of progressive policies (amnesty being the most prominent of many), and its general boosterism of Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy.

After the Tuesday night debate of five Democratic presidential candidates in the 2016 campaign, Jorge Ramos -- a Mexican-American journalist with the Fusion multi-platform media company -- interviewed Debbie Wasserman Schultz and in the process asked the the Democratic National Committee chairwoman why her party “lacked diversity” in the candidates on the stage. “When I was watching the debate,…

En las semanas transcurridas desde su desgraciada confrontación con Donald Trump, el presentador de Univisión/Fusion Jorge Ramos ha hecho todo lo posible para asegurar que su relato de lo ocurrido permanezca fresco en la mente de los medios de prensa dominantes. Pero las declaraciones que hace mientras sigue sacándole el jugo al incidente revelan inconsistencias que no se pueden dejar de examinar…

In the weeks since his infamous confrontation with Donald Trump, Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos has been doing his best to make sure his grievance narrative remains fresh in the minds of the mainstream media. However, the statements he makes while continuing to milk the incident reveal inconsistencies that cannot go unexamined.

Los noticieros de toda la nación (incluidos Univisión y Telemundo) encabezaron sus programas con la noticia del horrendo tiroteo en el Colegio Comunitario Umpqua, en Roseburg, Oregón. El tono de la cobertura de las cadenas de habla hispana no debería sorprender a nadie.

Newscasts all across the nation (including both Univision and Telemundo) led with news of the awful shooting at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. The tone of the coverage on the Spanish-language networks should surprise no one.

Los principales noticiarios vespertinos de las dos mayores cadenas hispanoparlantes, Noticiero Univisión y Noticiero Telemundo, trasmitieron masivamente más noticias sobre Trump que las tres principales cadenas angloparlantes, un nivel extraordinario de cobertura.

Donald Trump’s entry into the U.S. presidential race changed all that. During the three months that elapsed between the day of Trump’s campaign announcement speech on June 16 and September 15, the day before the second Republican presidential candidates’ debate, Trump was the subject of 304 minutes of combined evening news coverage on Univision and Telemundo, compared with a total of 271 minutes…

When analyzing news content on the nation’s Hispanic news media, it is helpful to remember that what is not covered is as important as what is covered, if not more so. This week’s papal visit to the United States provides us with another such instance.

In an interview that stood in marked contrast with his recent explosive encounter with presidential candidate Donald Trump, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos featured Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio on his weekly public affairs show, Al Punto, and credited the immigration law enforcement champion for his openness and responsiveness to all his questions.

En una entrevista que contrastó con el explosivo encuentro entre Ramos y el precandidato presidencial Donald Trump, el conductor de Univisión entrevistó al alguacil Joe Arpaio para su programa semanal de actualidad política, Al Punto, y reconoció a Arpaio por su transparencia y prontitud para responder todas sus preguntas.

The ascendance of “extreme left” forces in the Democrat Party, currently on the march in the candidacy of socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, emerged as a surprising focus of attention and shared concern among both the Republican and Democrat panelists on Univision’s weekly public affairs program, Al Punto.

The aftermath of Univision/Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos’ expulsion from (and prompt return to) Donald Trump’s Iowa press conference played out exactly as I predicted. Aided and abetted by his mainstream media comrades, Ramos has sought to cast himself as a brave resistor to injustice á la Rosa Parks, and his post-Trump defenses seek to portray him as a tough truth-teller willing to stand up to…
