Univision

Is Univision really doing this thing again, where it oversells its relevance to a presidential election? Really, after crashing and burning while doing just that in 2016? Based on Jorge Ramos' latest interview with U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), the answer is a resounding yes.

Hay dos cosas que se pueden esperar de Jorge Ramos en la postrimería inmediata de un tiroteo en masa: un segmento debalanceado en favor del control de armas en el semanario político Al Punto, y una columna más desbalanceada a lo largo de las plataformas digitales de Univision. Conforme a esta costumbre, se postularán argumentos fundamentados en medias verdades y hechos tergiversados. Las Vegas no…

You can come to expect two things from Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting: an uneven gun-control segment on weekly political talker al Punto, and an even more shrill column across Univision's platforms. We are not spared from these after Las Vegas.

It's certainly no surprise when guests on NBC News programs and the MSNBC cable television channel take advantage of the opportunity to slam President Donald Trump. That was the case on Thursday, October 12, when Alejandro García Padilla, the former governor of Puerto Rico, told MSNBC host Craig Melvin that the Republican occupant of the White House is “showing off that he is just racist.” In…

As sure as water is wet and the sun rises in the east, Univision's Jorge Ramos will have a segment on gun control in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting incident. Per this sad custom, arguments will be laid out based on gross misrepresentations of fact. The most recent edition of the activist-anchor's weekly Al Punto show was no exception.

Carmen Yulín Cruz, la alcaldesa de San Juan y nueva querendona de los medios de prensa, ha aprovechado al máximo la pauta adulatoria que se le ha dado en una entrevista reveladora transmitida durante la edición más reciente del semanario político Al Punto de la cadena Univision. Quedó así comprobada nuestro argumento de que, salvo algunos corresponsales dedicados (y la prensa local en la Isla),…

The media’s newest shiny anti-Trump personality, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, made the most of her sudden wave of adulatory free publicity in a revealing interview during the latest edition of Univision’s weekly Al Punto program, proving our contention that, aside from a few dedicated correspondents (and local media on the island), there was very little interest in covering the aftermath of…

Tardó unos días, pero la prensa estáblishment finalmente encontró el rostro alrededor del cual pudiese enmarcar su cobertura anti-Trump del impacto devastador del Huracán María sobre Puerto Rico. Ese rostro corresponde a Carmen Yulín Cruz, la alcaldesa izquierdista de San Juan. Sin embargo, uno siempre tiene que estar pendiente a lo que se omiten de los reportes, y la elevación repentina de Cruz…

After a week's worth of scrambling, the establishment media finally found a face around which to frame their anti-Trump political coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Maria's devastating impact upon the island of Puerto Rico. That face, of course, is San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. But as always, one must be watchful for what is missing from a report - and this sudden lionization of Mayor…

It is almost as predictable as the rise of the sun in the East. Once again, during national Hispanic Heritage Month, Univision senior news anchor Jorge Ramos has scored yet another article which purports to introduce (or reintroduce) him into the cultural mainstream.

Vuelve a encenderse la maquinaria de cabildeo de Univision, entrando así la principal cadena de habla hispana de los Estados Unidos en un esfuerzo activista abarcador a través de todas sus plataformas y a favor del Programa de Acción Diferida para los llegados en la infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés). De ese modo, la cadena sigue operando de un modo más consistente con un lobby de…

Once again, Univision has shifted into full-activist mode by engaging in an all-platform push in support of the preservation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (aka, DACA). In so doing, the network continues its practice of operating in a manner more consistent with a special interest lobbying firm than that of a national news media outlet.

Nunca hay que subestimar a Univisión cuando se trata de marcar nuevos momentos bajos del periodismo.

When it comes to hitting new lows in journalism, never underestimate Univision.
