Not surprisingly the Media Research Center says Telemundo and Univision has a liberal bias, because everything they watch or listen to has a liberal bias. But the networks tell them to stick their bias where the sun doesn't shine.;)

Both Telemundo and Univision are pushing back against a study released Monday by a conservative-leaning organization that said the two networks show a markedly liberal stance in their evening news programs.

The report by the Media Research Center's new Latino-focused group MRC Latino, found that from November through February, Noticiero Univision and Noticiero Telemundo focused most of their domestic U.S. policy stories on immigration and the new health care law, and featured liberal or left-leaning guests and viewpoints more often than conservatives.

Telemundo spokesperson Camilo Pino said the program offers objective information.

"Noticias Telemundo stands for accuracy, fairness and independence, while we strive to meet the highest ethical standards in the industry. We are devoted to our audience of U.S. Hispanics and strive to offer them the most reliable and objective information on the subjects that matter the most to them," Pino said in a statement. "The journalistic principles that rule our work ensure that our news coverage is transparent, impartial and factual."

As for the political affiliation of the people and groups interviewed or cited, MRC said conservatives should work harder at outreach and getting themselves on these shows, while also faulting networks for not featuring more conservative voices.

But Gabriela Domenzain, a principal at The Raben Group and former Director of Hispanic Media for Obama's 2012 campaign, said that when she worked at both Univision and Telemundo conservative guests often didn't want to appear on the network even when invited.

"I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the predominant reason why Republicans and conservatives are not seen more or cited more on Spanish-language news outlets is their own refusal to comment or be interviewed by the networks and publications that Hispanics read and watch the most," Domenzain said.

You mean fact's like this:

The study found that Univision and Telemundo featured liberal advocates of Obamacare in 116 stories versus the law’s conservative opponents in 24 stories.

Nearly a 5 to 1 ratio... Nothing skewed or biased about that... LMAO

There is this fact:

Fox says the same thing. Do you believe them?

Also, why do you consider such claims from the former Director of Hispanic Media for Obama's 2012 campaign to be facts?

Does your critical thinking have an off-on switch?

Seriously dude, how do you propose that a claim by a campaign director, blaming the other party, is a fact?

If I preface a statement with "I can tell you in no uncertain terms", will you also consider whatever follows to be a fact? Or does that only fly for campaign managers on your side of the aisle.

Here's another fact I got directly from the study just for you Pete, that as far as I'm conserned is game, set and match on this issue:

None of the Obama administration’s various scandals (the IRS targeting of conservative
groups; Benghazi; etc.) were even once mentioned during this four month study.​

Not once in 4 months... Are you kidding me?

Whether you like it or not Obamacare is law, there is no reason why they should be covered equally.

So what? That shows they are not like Fox News. Those scandals are as phony as a $3 Bill. The study, by the way, was November through February.

5 to 1... Are you kidding me?

With the screwed up website, reports from the CBO and others that this is going to hurt jobs/economy, over 6 million people getting policies that they liked canceled, story after story of people who's priemiums, deductable, or both went through the roof and let's not forget the more than 30 "You can keep your doctor" and "you can keep your health care plan" lies told by the president. Keep in mind, you weren't seeing people lining up in front of the cameras to tell their Obamacare success stories either.

So what?

Are you for real? Not one story, by one Spanish network about any of the scandals in 4 months... LMMFAO

You are hopelessly detached from reality Pete.

What if it was a conservative law, such as DOMA, and the guests on Fox News supported it by a 5:1 ratio? Would you call that unbiased?

That is the most unrealistic and flawed ways to determine media bias I've ever seen... However, the fact that it's churned out by Media Matters and progressives will buy it hook, line and sinker, is no surprise what so ever.

Here, let me demonstrate just how bogus this "study" is:

Network "A" has 20 guests in 20 weeks. 18 of those guests are conservative/republican politicians and 2 of them are liberal/democratic politicians.

16 of the 18 conservative guests were hammered by the host. They were criticized about the things they supported, and about the things they opposed. The host held those politicians feet to the fire and when they criticized the democrats, were challenged by the host with the criticism democrats have toward them. The interviews presented each of these guests in a slightly negative light, to very negative light.

2 of the 18 conservative guests were treated fairly and were presented by the host in a positive to very positive light.

2 of 2 liberal guests were treated fairly and the host was friendly toward them. They each were allowed to present the democratic viewpoint without challenge, as well as criticize the republicans without challenge. It's what can be characterized as "a soft-ball" interview.​


According to MM because 90% of the guests were conservatives/republicans, this serves as proof that there is no liberal bias at that network... As I have just shown, that statistic is absolutely meaningless, and what's so hilarious about their "study" isn't it's dishonesty, because we've all come to expect that from MM, it's the fact that there are people out there so dedicated to the liberal/progressive cause, they will buy into their line of BS, no questions asked...

This thread and the so called "study" from Media Matters is only good for one thing... A laugh... That's all.

I still can't believe that he considers the claims of a campaign manager, blaming the other party, to be fact. It's astounding.

Are you asserting that the hosts on Telemundo and Univision are conservatives? If not, you completely dodged my question. Also, 5:1?

I am not asserting ideology anyone, however I am assuming that if it works one way then the direct opposite will work as well.

The point is, we don't know how those discussions went and sheer numbers don't really mean a GD thing especially when we don't know how strong they are in the advocacy of their position. The bottom line are numbers are talking point but that's all.
