The nation's Spanish-speaking networks are increasingly desperate to push their coronavirus panic-porn morning, day and night. As of late, they’ve become fixated with President Trump's admission of taking hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis. As can be expected, sarcasm and skepticism about the treatment pervaded the airwaves, with the nets' anchors insisting that the drug is ineffective against…

MRC Latino’s most recent study shows the extent to which the nation’s most widely-viewed Spanish-language newscasts neglected covering the Hispanic jobs boom, while giving more than ample time to the historic jobs collapse due to the coronavirus pandemic, as reflected in the April 2020 unemployment report. 

Today’s Telemundo report on President Trump’s decision to take hydroxychloroquine, under the supervision of the White House physician, is certain to go down in the annals as one of the biggest fake news pieces of 2020. 

A Telemundo breaking news report about Facebook’s April deletion of “nearly 2,000 accounts that attack immigrants, promote racism and spread false information,” not only pointed an accusatory finger at Trump followers but dated the event, originally announced on May 5th, as taking place “today”.

Telemundo took its reporting on businesses that have suffered losses due to the coronavirus pandemic to the next level. In a report that both highlights the extent to which immigration is key to the network’s survival and serves to illustrate Telemundo’s flair for the absurd, the network gave airtime to a down-on-his-luck coyote.

The nation’s domestic Spanish-language networks made more than enough time to report Gen. Michael Flynn’s entry into a plea deal with federal prosecutors on December 1st, 2017, as it fueled the narrative of a Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. But the networks didn’t show as much enthusiasm when the Justice Department dropped the charges against Flynn.

Expressly biased reporting is alive and well at Univision, especially when given the chance to push their political agenda with one-sided stories that air with no debate: unquestioned and unchallenged. This hasty report by Washington correspondent Edwin Pitti, regarding a fifth economic aid package, warned about a “new political battle between Republicans and Democrats”, wherein the Dems were…

Previously, MRC Latino analyzed the lack of coverage of the serious allegations against Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden across the nation’s domestic Spanish-language networks, which received 1/38th of the coverage given to the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. In comparison, the networks did a far better of covering Biden than did their best-known anchor.

A funny thing happened on the way to bashing Trump at Univision´s afternoon coronavirus newscast. An interview with former Secretary of Treasury Rosario Marin badly backfired when she wandered off-script and actually validated Trump's decision to reopen the nation's economy.

When it comes to coverage of the serious allegations levied against former Vice President Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade, the nation’s Spanish-language national news media have been conspicuously absent. MRC Latino’s most recent study shows that, predictably, this wasn’t always the case.  

Telemundo's morning kaffeeklatsch, Un Nuevo Día, did a shameful disservice to all of the nation's women -Hispanic women in particular – by bringing in Catherine Cortez Masto, (D-NV), the first Latina senator in the United States, for a softball interview that made zero reference to the recent accusations of sexual harassment against the former senator by then staffer Tara Reade. Cortez Masto has…

The nation´s Spanish speaking networks joined their mainstream counterparts in a fake news offensive against President Trump, following his comments on a study about the role of disinfectants and UV light in killing the coronavirus. Bill Bryan, head of the Science and Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, gave a brief description of the study during a daily update on the…

Univision’s senior anchor has once again used his privileged platform on Facebook Watch in order to smear Americans who think differently from him. This time, his loaded propaganda is aimed at those who seek an easing of restrictions so that Americans may return to work and provide for their families- even in the face of layoffs at his parent company.

The nation’s Spanish-language media has fallen back on a familiar trope, smearing President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting immigration for 60 days as “anti-immigrant”. The temporary measure is meant to safeguard the population from COVID-19, and to protect the U.S. labor force, but Telemundo depicts the order as only serving to further anguish the nation's immigrants.
