Telemundo

The President's Son – el hijo del presidente – finally caught the attention of the nation's leading Spanish-speaking newscasts. Mind you, it wasn't the scandal-ridden son of OUR sitting president, but that of Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was deemed worthy of a combined six minutes plus of airtime at Telemundo and Univision on Valentine's Day.

President Biden´s approval among Hispanics continues to plummet, and the networks that cater to the nation's largest minority are doing the near-impossible to avoid covering it.

The collusive relationship between Big Tech and corporate media continues apace, as do efforts to control Hispanics' access to the free flow of information. The latest instance comes via a collaboration between Google, Telemundo, and MediaWise intended to curb Spanish-language "disinformation".

​Los canales en español de la nación se suman al esfuerzo de los medios corporativos para ganar ratings con su propia programación especial en conmemoración al "ataque a la democracia por parte de los seguidores del presidente Donald Trump"; en Univisión, el especial lleva el nombre de "Asalto al Capitolio: La democracia a prueba"; en Telemundo, es un "Ataque a la Democracia". Pero no hace…

The nation’s Spanish-speaking media are joining the corporate media's effort to goose their ratings with their own special programming to commemorate the “attack on democracy by the followers of President Donald Trump”; at Univision, the special goes by the name of “Assault to the Capitol: Testing Democracy”; at Telemundo, it´s an “Attack on Democracy”. But it wasn't that long ago that these…

Telemundo anchor Nacho Lozano was fine covering the recent Axios/Ipsos/Telemundo poll of Hispanics in the United States, until he realized it also polled abortion.

Esta semana, las cadenas hispanas nacionales se esmeraron para contarle a sus audiencias (en su mayoría conservadoras) lo fantástico que sería si California se convirtiera en el santuario del aborto de la nación, especialmente porque las latinas pobres en, digamos, Texas, no pueden, ni tienen el dinero, para pagar un aborto de 26 semanas en su estado.

This week, the national Hispanic networks made a point to let their (mostly conservative) audiences know just how fantastic the prospect of California becoming the nation's abortion sanctuary would be, especially as poor Latinas in, say, Texas, wouldn't have the money to pay for a 26-week abortion they can't get in their state.

El lunes, los noticieros latinos nacionales celebraron la implementación de las nuevas prioridades en materia de inmigración del DHS que excluyen la entrada ilegal como causa de deportación y salvan a los inmigrantes indocumentados del "temor constante” y la "persecución" que viven…

On Monday, the national Latino newscasts enthusiastically headlined the implementation of the new DHS Immigration Enforcement Priorities that exclude illegal entry as a cause for deportation and save undocumented immigrants from the “hardships” and “persecution” they are subjected to for breaking the law.

El presentador de Telemundo Nacho Lozano mostró sus destrezas detectivescas y juiciosas durante un análisis matutino del juicio de Kyle Rittenhouse donde tuvo que admitir, no una, sino dos veces, que estaba inventando cosas, y ello después de tergiversar el veredicto del jurado, diciendo que fue declarado culpable para luego retractarse.

The Telemundo public was dealt a classic case of subliminal messaging between the lines regarding white supremacy during a post-trial report about Kyle Rittenhouse that saved the punchline for the end: he's only free thanks to a “mostly white jury”.

Telemundo anchor Nacho Lozano showed off his whodunit and judging skills during an early morning analysis of the Rittenhouse trial where he had to admit, not once, but twice, that he was making things up, and that after switching the jury's verdict, first saying he was found guilty, then correcting himself. 

Por lo que vemos en los noticieros en español, nunca sabríamos que el 48 por ciento de los votantes opina que Joe Biden no tiene la capacidad mental para ser presidente, según encontró una encuesta de Politico/Morning Consult publicada el 10 de noviembre y que las cadenas hispanas prefirieron ocultar de sus televidentes.
