G. Capuano at MMFA:

Univision’s elDetector project has worked for months to fact-check Donald Trump’s dangerous lies about abortion, immigration, and the January 6 insurrection. During an October 16 Televisa Univision town hall with the former president, journalist Enrique Acevedo — who in 2023 faced criticism for his interview with Trump — will also have the chance to push back against Trump's misinformation by fact-checking the GOP presidential candidate in real time. 

The event will also be an opportunity for Univision to restore trust among its viewers after concerns that the network’s corporate owners, Televisa Univision, have made attempts to become friendly with the former president, with whom the network had cut business ties in 2016 after a series of racist remarks against Mexicans. In 2023, the Washington Post reported that “Trump is treating Univision and its new corporate owners like long-lost friends” and that “he hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago” during his interview with Acevedo.   The town hall will broadcast out of Miami and will be followed by a dueling town hall with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, October 10. Univision and its streaming service ViX will air the town halls with a Spanish translation, with the full English-language version available on the Noticias Univision YouTube channel.

Univision’s elDetector has fact-checked Trump before

Univision’s elDetector, an online Spanish-language fact-checking project launched ahead of the 2016 presidential election, has spent the last several months pushing back against Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, his false and racist attacks against Harris’ identity, his fearmongering about Democrats’ position on abortion, and his distortions about the January 6 insurrection. 

Univision has an impeccable record of fact-checking Donald Trump. Will they do so at the town hall?

Jorge Ramos dice adiós al Noticiero de Univisión

MIAMI, Florida * 13 de diciembre, 2024 ) Univisión Jorge Ramos se despide del Noticiero Univision manteniéndose fiel a sí mismo, el periodista que respeta la audiencia de Estados Unidos. Veintiseis palabras y dos números le bastaron para decir adiós... o hasta luego. “Puro agradecimiento” fue la frase con la que Ramos cerró su ciclo de 38 años en la cadena y también su post en Instagram. Pura economía de tiempo para el lector, sin lamentos, conciso, con el punto de emotividad que requiere el momento, pero sin traicionar su estilo. Este viernes 13 de diciembre será su último noticiero, y el domingo 15 el último episodio de Al punto, que condujo durante 17 años. Para Ramos, el joven de 24 años que llegó a Estados Unidos en 1983 procedente de México sin saber cuál sería el rumbo de su vida, ha sido tremendo camino el que ha cumplido como “periodista inmigrante”, la manera en que le gusta definirse. Uno que nos hace pensar que no ha terminado porque es demasiado inquieto, demasiado aventurero. Ramos tiene 66 años y casi 40 años los ha pasado en Univision –hoy TelevisaUnivision– y en ese intervalo los hispanos han ganado una presencia significativa en Estados Unidos. Incertidumbre en Univision Decir que ha sido la voz de los hispanos, o al menos una de sus voces, es mucho abarcar, pero no es exageración resumir que su rostro ha estado presente en la sala de la casa de muchas familias llevando la noticia o solo en el trasfondo, como un susurro esperado que acompañaba la hora de la cena o el tiempo de los deberes. ¿Quién no ha lavado los platos o ha hecho la tarea siguiendo ese murmullo que llegaba de la tele en las voces de presentadores como María Elena Salinas, Teresa Rodríguez, Alina Mayo Azze, Guillermo Benítes, Bernadette Pardo, Ambrosio Hernández, Leticia Callava y María Montoya? También se vivía la noche escuchando la noticia de boca de tantos reporteros como Blanca Rosa Vilchez, una de las últimas en salir de Univision el mes pasado, y una verdadera estrella de la corresponsalía en Nueva York, donde fue uno de los primeros periodistas en llegar al World Trade Center el 11 de septiembre del 2001. El anuncio de Ramos en septiembre de que no renovaría el contrato con la cadena puede leerse hoy, a la luz de los hechos, como un anticipo de lo que vendría a fin de año. Un nueva ola de despidos en los primeros días de diciembre en la que salieron la presentadora Maity Interiano, de Noticiero Univision Edición Nocturna; Roger Borges, corresponsal de El Gordo y la Flaca, el chef Yisus, de Despierta América y el ejecutivo Jesús Lara, que presidía Medios Locales en Estados Unidos. Daniel Alegre, el CEO de TelevisaUnivision nombrado en septiembre, dijo en un memorándum enviado a los empleados que se avecinaban “retos”, en medio del proceso de reestructuración de la cadena. “Les pido su enfoque y resiliencia mientras damos estos pasos importantes hacia un futuro más fuerte y más conectado. Juntos estamos construyendo una empresa posicionada para un crecimiento sostenido, innovación y liderazgo”, dijo el ejecutivo el 2 de diciembre. Como parte de esta reestructuración de TelevisaUnivision también se eliminaron empleos en el equipo de Contenido y Desarrollo de la plataforma ViX el 11 de diciembre. En noviembre cerró la oficina de TelevisaUnivision en San Francisco y salieron veteranos periodistas como el corresponsal Luis Megid y redactores de noticias como Daniel Morcate, Jorge Mota y Susana Mickle, de la oficina de Miami. El 2024 abrió con el despido de 200 empleados de Univision en los que se perdió talento frente a la cámara como Teresa Rodríguez y Sandra Peebles, entre los más veteranos de la cadena, y hasta hoy continúa la incertidumbre del equipo que labora en Estados Unidos. ) www.acapulcopress.com Read the full article

¿Quiebra TelevisaUnivisión y TVAzteca por Chafas y Corruptas?

[tomorrowusa]

Spanish-language Univision is becoming more MAGA-friendly despite Donald Trump's histrionic talk of vermin, concentration camps, and how immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country".

The famous Trump Univision interview by Enrique Acevedo has some interesting backstory.

During the hour-long interview, Acevedo allowed the former president — who as recently as 2020 called Univision “a leftist propaganda machine” — to openly pander to Latinos' “entrepreneurial” spirit, and to threaten his political opponents by insinuating he would weaponize the Department of Justice against them if he is re-elected.  This interview adds to concerns that the Spanish-language news giant – which in 2016 cut business ties with Trump and his Miss USA beauty pageant after his racist remarks against Mexicans – is shifting its stance on the former president. The Washington Post reported that “Trump is treating Univision and its new corporate owners like long-lost friends. He hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago last week during an hour-long Univision interview that was notable for its gracious tone.”  The report also indicated that TelevisaUnivision Mexico co-CEO Bernardo Gomez Martinez, who has a “long working relationship” with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, was responsible for facilitating the sit-down. 

Yep, you may have thought Jared had moved on from his working relationship with El Douché but he's still pulling strings for Trump.

[I]n the days that followed Trump’s interview with Acevedo, some network pundits made the case that Trump has “softened” on immigration in an effort “to repair his relationship” with Latinos – flying in the face of the network’s own reporting about his explicitly stated policies and stance on the issue. In the days that followed Trump’s interview, Univision regional and national prime-time shows like Al Punto California, Noticiero Univision, and Linea de Fuego have hosted numerous conservative pundits, including former personalities from Americano Media — the Trump-aligned Spanish-language network that ran out of money earlier this year — to defend the former president and argue that he is aiming for “a change in strategy” on Latinos and immigration.

Either those Univision pundits are living in an alternative reality or word came down from the patrón to go easy on El Douché.

Of course Univision's blatant pandering to a virulent racist and hatemonger is not going unchallenged.

Latino backlash grows over Donald Trump’s friendly Univision interview

The nation’s largest Spanish-language media company, Univision, faced growing backlash Friday for its handling of a recent interview with former president Donald Trump, as major Latino advocacy groups delivered a letter of protest to the network’s executives and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus prepared to request a meeting with the network. Actor and comedian John Leguizamo, who recently took a turn as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” also posted a video on Instagram on Thursday night calling for a boycott of the network until it stopped its rejection of Biden ads, some of which were canceled just before the Trump interview aired. “I am asking all my brothers and sisters who are actors, artists, politicians, activists to not go on Univision,” he said in a message in English and Spanish. [ ... ] Joaquin Blaya, a former president of Univision who created its signature news show in the late 1980s, told The Washington Post in an interview this week that he worried the network had moved away from its founding mission. [ ... ] The Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, which has long had a close relationship with political power brokers in that country, recently merged with the owners of Univision to take joint control of the company. “This was Mexican-style news coverage, a repudiation of the concept of separation of business and news,” Blaya said of the Trump interview. “What I saw there was batting practice, someone dropping balls for him to hit out of the park. I think it was an embarrassment.”

What Trump tells MAGA-friendly interviewers from Univision is not what he is telling everybody else. And that interview was heavily edited to make him seem less unpalatable to the audience.

This is the same Trump who called Mexicans "drug dealers", "criminals", and "rapists" and never apologized for his insults nor took them back.

The View conducted a good journalistic dissection of the way the Univision interview took place.

Sebastian Murdock at HuffPost:

Internal company emails and a deposition obtained by HuffPost reveal how the right-wing network Newsmax dismissed accurate reports that a mass shooter was a white supremacist and shared an image of a man they incorrectly identified as the killer. Texas man Mauricio Garcia, 37, filed a libel lawsuit against Newsmax and other media organizations in March after an image of him was used in their coverage of a May 6, 2023, mass shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, that depicted him as the shooter. The real gunman was a 33-year-old white supremacist who shared the same first and last name as Garcia. The gunman killed eight people and wounded seven others before he was killed in a shootout with police. But it was the innocent Garcia’s image that was used to depict a neo-Nazi killer.

“This was a pretty obvious unforced error,” Newsmax News Director Chris Wallace wrote in an email after it became clear the network had connected an innocent man to a mass shooting, according to court records. Garcia is being represented by Houston attorney Mark Bankston of Farrar & Ball. Bankston previously represented the parents of a child who died in a 2012 school shooting who won a $45 million judgment against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for lies he spread about it. Entertainment blog Hollywood Unlocked and TelevisaUnivision (the parent company of Spanish-language broadcaster Univision) are also listed as defendants. Fox News was previously listed as a defendant but was dropped from the lawsuit in June. News site Today News Africa and far-right commentators Tim Pool and Steven Crowder settled with Garcia, Bankston told HuffPost. Andrew Brown, the chief operating officer at Newsmax, gave a deposition as part of the lawsuit on Aug. 20. During it, Brown routinely acknowledged that Newsmax staff failed its internal journalistic practices when reporting on the shooting. [...] Two days after the shooting, on May 8, media reports began to trickle in about the shooter’s ties to the neo-Nazi movement, including his tattoos of a swastika and the SS lightning bolt of Hitler’s paramilitary forces. The shooter also had a Russian social media account “rife with hate-filled rants against women and Black people,” The New York Times reported. And Aric Toler, a former researcher at the open-source research outlet Bellingcat, independently verified the killer’s social media website and posted details on X, formerly Twitter. Following the new details from Toler, prominent right-wing voices — including that of billionaire and X owner Elon Musk — floated conspiracies denying the shooter’s neo-Nazi background. [...] Later that night, on Newsmax’s ”Greg Kelly Reports,” the host questioned the shooter’s white supremacist background. Kelly was wrong, as authorities would later clarify. Even worse, Kelly aired a photo of the wrong Garcia while making his incorrect point. “We didn’t know anything for a good long time, like a day and a half went by, no information whatsoever, until they told us this guy did it, Mauricio Garcia,” Kelly said on his show. Next to Kelly was a mugshot of the innocent Garcia with a large graphic titled “‘White’ Supremacy?” underneath the image. Below that, a title for the segment read “Here We Go Again With ‘White Supremacy.’” [...]

‘I Told Them Not To Run It’

Backlash to the Kelly segment was swift. Publications including Forbes, Mediaite and The Daily Beast all wrote stories pointing out that Kelly had shown a photo of the wrong man. And The Associated Press released a fact-check about the wrong image, but did not mention Newsmax. Kelly had also — along with Knowles, the vice president of programming at Newsmax — questioned whether the shooting had been motivated by white supremacy. On May 9, authorities made clear the shooter had a history of racial hatred. “We do know that he had neo-Nazi ideation. He had patches. He had tattoos. Even his signature verified that,” Hank Sibley, North Texas regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at a press conference a day after Kelly’s segment. As the reports came in, Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy forwarded executives an email that a Daily Beast reporter sent asking about the error. “[Newsmax Vice President] Elliot, let’s follow up on this right away he needs to if he did do the wrong photo,” Ruddy said of Kelly. “He needs to say that ... Their team needs to be very careful on this obviously ... I’ll speak to bill about some simple thing to get back once you confirm, they did make the wrong photo.”

HuffPost obtained emails from right-wing propaganda outlet Newsmax on how wrong they got their coverage on the white supremacist Allen mall shooter, with host Greg Kelly running a segment on his Greg Kelly Reports program criticizing reports about shooter’s affiliations with white supremacists (which were indeed confirmed).

Any reputable news outlet would have terminated Kelly at that point (or several before then).
