Univision News Gleefully Cheers Progressives, Bashes Conservatives

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.

MSNBC's Maddow Treats Clinton to Gushy Softball Interview

Fresh off her 11-hour testimony at the Benghazi hearing, Democratic presidential candidate front-runner Hillary Clinton sat down on Friday for her first one-on-one interview with none-other than the most leftist show possible – MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show.  If anyone had any doubts how far left the show is, Maddow herself admitted Clinton: “I’m a true-blue liberal, and I’m allowed to say that…

Matthews Mocks Rubio: 'Little Mr. Firecracker of the Bombs-Away Set'

Can you imagine if in 2007 some conservative had dared call Barack Obama the "Little Mister" of anything?  The cries of racism would be ringing to this day. But on his MSNBC show this evening, Chris Matthews didn't hesitate to denigrate Marco Rubio as "the little Mister Firecracker of the bombs-away set."  For good measure, Matthews claimed that "Cruz hates as well as any Republican in modern…

HuffPo Bowing to Reality? Trump Stories Appear on Their Politics Page

Reality can be brutal, especially political reality as the Huffington Post seems to have found out. Back in July the Huffington Post went all in on the notion that the Donald Trump candidacy would be ephemeral so they could get away with displaying their bias by consigning Trump stories to the entertainment, not politics page. Unfortunately for them, Donald Trump not only lasted through the rest…

Bernie's Wife: He Throws a 'Holiday' Not 'Christmas' Party

God forbid  it should be said that Bernie Sanders throws a "Christmas" party!  Sanders wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, was interviewed on today's With All Due Respect. When Mark Halperin asked the affable Mrs. Sanders to share a side of her husband that people might not know, she twice mentioned that Bernie organizes an annual "Christmas" party. And twice she promptly corrected herself, calling it a…

CNN Badgers Rubio On Missed Senate Votes; 'In A Glass House'

CNN's Jamie Gangel hounded Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio over his missed Senate votes on Monday's New Day. Gangel played up how Senator Rubio "said federal workers who don't show up should be fired." When the Florida politician countered that he had said that "federal workers that aren't doing their jobs — that are not performing at their jobs — should be able to be fired," the…

ESPN's Kornheiser Sees Tea Party as Being Like 'ISIS'

It was a Friday on local sports radio in Washington, DC. The last broadcast before a Redskins game. So, naturally, ESPN 980’s Tony Kornheiser decided to have political journalist and editor Howard Fineman of the Huffington Post on to talk about Paul Ryan and the Tea Party. Kornheiser, a long time Washington Post sports columnist before moving to radio, wondered: “Are they like ISIS trying to…

Melissa Harris-Perry: ‘Hard Worker’ Is Offensive Term to Slaves, Women

On Saturday, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry scolded guest Alfonso Aguilar for using the term “hard worker” because it’s demeaning to slaves and working women: "I want us to be super careful when we use the language 'hard worker,' because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields on my office wall, because it is a reminder about what hard work looks like."

Serving Others, Not Politics, Will Lead America to Bright Future

Heading into a presidential election year, it's important to remember that political involvement is but one of many ways we can work together to solve problems. Sometimes it's the best approach; sometimes it's not. When our political system is broken beyond repair — as it is today — there's a need for other approaches in order to do the heavy lifting. To solve the challenges before our nation, we…

Clinton's Claim Veterans Are 'Satisfied' With VA Health Care Disputed

One of the most controversial remarks made by Hillary Clinton -- a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate -- during her interview with MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow on Friday night came when the party's frontrunner quoted “a number of surveys” that claimed “overall, veterans who get treated” in Veterans Administration facilities “are satisfied with their treatment.” That remark drew a challenge…

Tarantino Tells Rally It’s Time to ‘Rise Up’ Against ‘Murderer' Cops

Talk about bad timing.  Four days after NYPD Officer Randolph Holder was shot in the head during the chase of an armed man in East Harlem, hundreds of protestors gathered at Washington Square Park in New York on Saturday to demonstrate against police brutality. The “Rise Up October” rally drew around 300 protestors and director Quentin Tarantino was front and center, bashing the police as "…

Univision Co-opts Republicans Willing to Bash Conservatives

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.

CBS Promotes Euthanasia on 'The Good Wife'

With this month’s passage in California of the “End of Life Option Act,” CBS’s latest episode of The Good Wife paints a perfect picture of liberal support for physician-assisted suicide. Drawing a line in the sand, the show’s writers point to the “Catholic and conservative lobbies” as the foes of freedom – the freedom of doctors to kill their patients.

CNN's Brooke Baldwin Objects to Guest Calling Michael Brown 'Thug'

On Monday's CNN Newsroom, Brooke Baldwin rebuked a guest who bluntly labeled Michael Brown a "thug." Former DEA agent David Katz underlined that Darren Wilson was "by all accounts, a good police officer — did exactly what an officer is supposed to do. He was set upon by a thug named Michael Brown, who just moments before, strong-armed an Indian-American half his size." Baldwin interjected, "Come…
