Every few days, the nation’s Spanish-speaking news outlets seem to obsess about one word, or term, and repeat it constantly in order to hammer their audiences on their chosen points of view as the last- pun intended- word.
This compilation is from the January 15 and 16, 2020 newscasts at Telemundo, Univision and CNN en Español. Witness the nets’ new fascination with the “evidence”, in reference to new allegations against President Trump ahead of his impeachment proceedings:
CRISTINA LONDOÑO, TELEMUNDO MEDIODIA: These prosecutors are going to represent the House of Representatives in the Senate. They collect all the evidence.

Democrats say the new evidence turned over by Parnas goes to the core of their case against President Trump.
Absent from all of the reports quoted above, in addition to actual “evidence”, was any perspective from conservative sources other than a quick quote from Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) on Telemundo that, in effect, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did this to prevent the President from being re-elected.
They also failed to include a single point of view refuting the Democrats’ conclusions of what turned out to be he-said, she-said partisan demagoguery in a process that began on the day Donald Trump won the United States presidential election.
