MEXICAN STANDOFF: Univision-Reyes-Kamala Stories Don't Add Up
New information has emerged since our previous update on the Mexico City fiasco, which ensued when a woman was wrongfully introduced as a Univision journalist before proceeding to egregiously flatter Vice President Kamala Harris.

NewsBusters Podcast: CNN Slaps Decency, Welcomes Toobin Back to Air
In a move that showed CNN’s refusal to have anything close to admirable ethics, the Jeffrey Zucker-led network welcomed back chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin on Thursday after a seven-month absence following a Zoom call in which he pleasured himself in front of colleagues at The New Yorker.

OOF: Kamala Harris Hits Univision Anchor With ‘I'm Not Finished’
Vice President Kamala Harris’ Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Week with Univision continues apace.

DNC CNN Fails to Ask Biden Aide About Kamala's Failure to Visit Border
Imagine you're a legit reporter given the opportunity to interview Biden's Communications Director about Kamala Harris's recent trip to Guatemala and Mexico, the first questions you'd ask would surely be along the lines: "Does President Biden want Harris to visit the border? If so, why hasn't she visited, and when will she? If he doesn't want her to visit, why not?" Trick question: we said "…
UPDATE: Univision, ‘Maria Fernanda’ Blame WH for Kamala Presser Flap
The strange tale of María Fernanda Reyes, the activist who passed herself off as a Univision reporter and gushed all over Vice President Kamala Harris in Mexico City, appears to be drawing to a close. It appears that the kerfuffle was not the result of over-the-top media bias, but of basic incompetence by White House staff.
Suck-Up: NYT Reporter, Psaki Mock GOP ‘Going Crazy’ Over Kamala
With Tuesday serving as the final White House press briefing for at least week due to President Biden’s trip to Europe, liberal reporters had one more chance to perform for the cameras and/or suck up to Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

MSNBC Comedy! Mika: Border Boss Kamala ‘Deserves Some Credit’
In the face of the overwhelming criticism Kamala Harris has received for her failure to visit the US/Mexico border and her disastrously bad answer to Lester Holt's question about her plans to do so, Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski insists that nonetheless, Kamala deserves credit for going to Central American countries and "getting in the face" of leaders there.
Univision Fangirling of VP Harris at Mexico Presser, or Major Breach?

As NewsBusters documented on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a colossal blunder when pressed by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt on why she hadn’t visited the U.S.-Mexico border despite being the point person on the crisis.

Outlandish MSNBC Claim: There's No Crisis at the Southern Border
It is no surprise that MSNBC has continued its relentless campaign of praising the Biden administration for anything and everything, even if it’s cringeworthy and unclear like Vice President Kamala Harris’s focus on immigration. On Monday’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid and former Harris aide, Sergio Gonzales discussed Harris’s trip to Guatemala. Ignoring the hiccups and lack of attention to the…
Gag: ABC Spins Kamala as 'Blunt,' Border Hawk
Get ready for the new spin from the corrupt network media: Kamala Harris, border hawk! After burying the ongoing crisis, ABC and CBS on Tuesday laughably morphed the Vice President into a “clear,” “blunt,” “direct” tough talker when it comes to the border. Only NBC offered a different take, shocking viewers by calling out Harris’s lie that "we've" been to the border.
Univision: Did You Know That 'Don't Come-ala' Has A Mexican Cousin?

Guatemala Kamala: Holt Boasts Harris Is '1,500 Miles from the Border'
Back in March, President Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the point person to handle the illegal immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.

And during the Monday newscast of NBC Nightly News…
