When Univision decided to rehire Daniel Coronell as president of Univision’s news division, we harshly criticized the move as the dog returning to its vomit. It appears that the dog has decided to vomit again. Per corporate parent TelevisaUnivision’s press release: TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media and content company in the world, informs that, after more than 2 years heading Univision News, Daniel Coronell will step down as president of Univision News by mutual agreement on the 31st of the current month. The “mutual agreement” language betrays the rumored firing as reported across several outlets. Why now? Multiple sources report, among other reasons, that there were concerns that Univision’s news division was still strongly biased in favor of Democrats and against President Donald Trump. This should surprise no one. As I said after the network’s 2023 interview of the then-former President Trump: The interview happened because Televisa wanted it to happen, for reasons that are not yet clear to me. I have some friends who are furious over this interview while others are over the moon. I’m not ready to accept what I just saw at face value, and I am left with more questions than answers. But my gut tells me this is a one-time op and that Univision will continue to favor both the leftwing policy pupu platter and the Democrats that want to enact it. I remain suspicious. One thing to watch for going forward: will Trump (or Republicans in general) begin to garner different coverage on Univision, or is this a one-off for both Trump and Univision?  The interview turned out to be a one-off. Univision’s news coverage is not substantially different from what it was a few years ago. But with Jorge Ramos gone, the news coverage is far less strident in terms of tone.   Coronell, one of the co-architects of Univision’s descent into corporate immigration advocacy status, was originally fired when the merger with Mexican parent Televisa was complete. At the time, we thought that the network’s new arrangement, with Jorge Ramos made a direct-reporting Special Editorial Advisor to the CEO, would not hold. We wrote: Time will tell whether this is a gesture aimed at creating a soft landing for Ramos at, say, CNN; or whether he has actual power, in which case, the incoming head of news is constrained before fully putting his stamp on the division. Either way, this arrangement is not sustainable beyond the short term.  Spoiler: it didn’t. Ramos was famously let go at the end of last year, and now Coronell follows him out the door.  Replacing Coronell as President of News: his original successor, Leopoldo Gómez. We wish him all the best as he continues to enact much-needed reforms at Univision.  

During a White House press briefing on Thursday dominated by questions about either the economy or Venezuela, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt threw down with former conservative reporter-turned-liberal CNN host and chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins over the former topic with Collins insisting the state of the economy was not as strong as Leavitt made it seem and Leavitt hitting back the economy has improved from the Biden years. Collins started off by asking about President Trump’s comments from Tuesday night in which he was “telling parents two weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children.” Leavitt first addressed the need to make more products in America: “[I]f we want products made right here in America...which is a large part of the reason the President has effectively implemented tariffs, then we’re going to have better quality products...Maybe you’ll pay a dollar or two more, but you will get better quality, and you’ll be supporting your fellow Americans by buying American.” Former conservative reporter-turned-liberal hack Kaitlan Collins deserves to have her partisanship thrown back in her face. The end of this from @PressSec @KarolineLeavitt is exactly right. She didn't do this tough girl act in the last administration when Leavitt's predecessors… pic.twitter.com/T2fC8KjLcQ — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) December 11, 2025   Leavitt broadened out and directly took aim at Collins and her network: [W]ith respect to affordability, every economic metric, Kaitlan, and I wish you would report more on it does, in fact, show that the economy is getting better and brighter than where it was under the previous administration. I will repeat, inflation as measured by the overall CPI has slowed to an average 2.5 percent pace. Real wages are increasing roughly $1,200 for the average worker. Gas prices are down in almost every single state across the country. Again, in 22 states, it’s below 2.75. You look at the tax cuts, those are going to go into effect next year, so the best is yet to come. The President is digging our country out of the economic hole that the previous administration put us in and that’s what he’s talking about. Collins replied “inflation is about what it was a year ago, as you know, and grocery prices have been up” and “we’ve covered the economy,” but made sure to tell viewers it’s “mixed.” She also tried to nitpick on inflation, which Leavitt wasn’t having: This is down from what the President inherited. The President inherited 2.9 percent in January. Today, it’s at about 2.5 percent. So, we’re trending in the right direction with more to come. And I would remind you, when President Trump left office in his first term, inflation was 1.7 percent and the previous administration jacked it up to a record high nine percent. So again, in ten months, the President has clawed us out of this hole. He’s kept it low at 2.5 percent, and we believe that number is going to continue to decline, especially as energy and oil prices continue to decline as well. After hearing Collins claim “no one” was “arguing it wasn’t high under Biden,” Leavitt unloaded by invoking the economic denials from Biden White House Press Secretaries Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre that Collins and her fellow liberal lackeys “just took at [their] word.” This disconnect, Leavitt argued, has been purposeful to “push untrue narratives about the President” (click “expand”): LEAVITT: My predecessor was standing at this podium, but now you want to ask me a lot of questions about it, which I’m happy to answer. But I will just add, there’s a lot more scrutiny on this issue from this press corps than there was —  COLLINS: Because the President has said it’s non-existent. Non-existent. LEAVITT: — well, and the previous administration said that too. COLLINS: Right. LEAVITT: My predecessor, stood up at this podium and she said inflation doesn’t exist. She said the border was secure and people like you just took her at her word and those were two utter lies. COLLINS: That’s not true. LEAVITT: Everything I’m telling you is the truth, backed by real factual data. And you just don’t want to report on it because you want to push untrue narratives about the President. A few minutes before Collins, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann served as Thursday’s example of how it’s farce to argue conservative media writ large shows up to White House events with softballs: .@PhilipWegmann: “On these advanced Nvidia H200 chips, why is the President willing to allow China to have access to one of America's chief technological advantages?”@PressSec @KarolineLeavitt: “Look, I will tell you just a couple of things.

Rewinding even further back in the briefing, Fox’s Peter Doocy pressed Leavitt on Wednesday’s seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker: DOOCY TIME: “Based on the way that things stand right now, is Operation Southern Spear about drugs or is it about oil?”@PressSec @KarolineLeavitt: “What I will tell you, Peter, is that the Trump administration is focused on doing many things in the Western Hemisphere. The… pic.twitter.com/gFTyNzyqdj — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) December 11, 2025   He also asked whether the seized oil will be injected into the U.S. marketplace and then whether the administration’s build-up off the Venezuelan coast has put in jeopardy the President’s chances at the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize (click “expand”): DOOCY: And because you said the President is trying to do a lot of things at once, he talks a lot about how he thinks the way to bring down prices for everything would be to bring down the cost of energy. Would he use this seized Venezuelan oil to try to help Americans with affordability here in the United States? LEAVITT: Well, what I can tell you right now, the vessel has been seized, as you know, and the Department of Justice is did that in conjunction with the Coast Guard and the Department of War. The vessel is currently undergoing a forfeiture process. Right now, the United States currently has a full investigative team on the ground, on the vessel, and individuals on board the vessel are being interviewed, and any relevant evidence is being seized. With respect to the oil, that’s a different issue. As you know, Peter, the vessel will go to a U.S. port, and the United States does intend to seize the oil. However, there is a legal process for the seizure of that oil, and that legal process will be followed. DOOCY: And my last one on this, if President Trump launches a bigger military campaign in the Caribbean, is he jeopardizing a possible Nobel Peace Prize? LEAVITT: Look, the President has proven over the past year that he is more than worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. I think he’s been nominated for it nearly 100 times this past year, which is definitely a record. He’s solved, I think, nine conflicts around the world we are up to now. He’s actively working on Russia/Ukraine war, which is the big one as we speak and has been over the past year. With respect to any additional action in Venezuela. I’m not going to get ahead of the President or the United States military. Staying on the topic of Venezuela, the great Kellie Meyer of NewsNation closed the Q&A by asking about whether the administration views their actions Wednesday as a closer move toward war (see below) and then if they’ve considered how a full-scale war would be seen by the President’s base: .@NewsNation’s @KellieMeyerNews: “Two quick ones on Venezuela.

Unable to successfully impeach President Donald Trump, House Democrats have turned their ire against RFK Jr. — introducing impeachment articles against the Health and Human Services secretary after he “turned his back on science.”“Yes, he has turned his back on science because, by the way, Dr. Fauci is the science, and he doesn’t like Dr. Fauci. I guess maybe this is their reasoning,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales scoffs.“What is immediately obvious is the Democrats are not in power this time around. Like this is obviously not going to go anywhere. Nothing’s going to happen. This is all clearly performative,” Gonzales says.Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), the woman claiming she is impeaching RFK Jr., made a fool out of herself in 2020 yelling on the House floor while wearing latex gloves to protect herself from the COVID virus — and Gonzales hasn’t forgotten.“This is the type of person who's leading the charge to impeach RFK Jr.,” Gonzales says. “And I just, this is actually big news. I didn’t realize that we could just make up reasons to impeach people.”“And I started thinking to myself ... if we’re just making up reasons to impeach people, I think Republicans should say, ‘You know what, Democrats, we’ll play by your rules, that’s fine, that's fine. You guys make these wacky rules, and we will play by them,’” she continues.“We’re going to take that same energy and impeach some of the Democrats,” she adds.This is what has inspired Gonzales’ 12 days of impeachments — in the spirit of Christmas.“On the first day of impeachments ... who other than [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.]? Now her crime? Being a drunk,” she charges.On the second day of impeachments, Gonzales would impeach Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for “the crime of marrying her brother,” and on the third day, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) for the crime of “being r*****ed.”On the fourth day, Gonzales would like to see Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) impeached for the same crime as Crockett, and on the fifth day, “Pencil-neck [Sen.] Adam Schiff [D-Calif.] for the crime of mortgage fraud.”“Now I would like to be clear. He’s not actually been convicted of these crimes, but that’s OK. It doesn’t matter because you were accused of it,” she jokes.On the sixth day, “[Rep.] Jerry Nadler [D-N.Y.] for the crime of wearing his pants up to his neck,” and on the seventh, “[Rep.] Eric Swalwell [D-Calif.], for sh**ting himself on live TV, farting, I don’t know.”James Boasberg comes in at number eight, for “being a rogue judge and blocking President Trump,” and closely following Boasberg is Ketanji Brown Jackson for the crime of “being a DEI hire and not knowing what a woman is.”The tenth day is the “easiest sell,” with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) for “sedition, because he actually committed it,” with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) following on the eleventh day “for being a Temu version of Obama.”“And on the final day, we’d like Beto O’Rourke because he was an embarrassment to the state of Texas. And he looks like the wacky, wild, inflatable guy that you see at car dealerships,” Gonzales says.“I’m just saying,” she continues. “Republicans, grow some balls.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a fiery exchange with CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins over the president's recent comments admonishing Americans to buy fewer gifts this Christmas for their children.Collins pressed Leavitt on whether President Donald Trump's comments contradicted his separate claim that the economy was recovering in his second term.'Everything I'm telling you is the truth, backed by real, factual data, and you just don't want to report on it because you want to push untrue narratives about the president.'"If the economy is as strong as the president has said it is, then why is he telling parents two weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children?" Collins asked."Look, what the president is saying is that if we want products made right here in America, if we want them to be made from American small businesses, which is a large part of the reason the president has effectively implemented tariffs, then we're going to have better quality products right here in the United States," Leavitt responded. "Maybe you'll pay a dollar or two more, but you will get better quality, and you'll be supporting your fellow Americans by buying American."She went on to claim that every economic measure has gotten better under the Trump administration, and she cited inflation and gas prices."So, the best is yet to come. The president is digging our country out of the economic hole that the previous administration put us in, and that's what he's talking about," Leavitt said."We've covered the economy, but there's mixed signals in terms of what that looks like," Collins replied, adding that grocery prices have gone up during the Trump administration.When Collins kept pressing Leavitt, the press secretary accused the reporter of a double standard and reminded her of the media's complicity with the messaging from the previous administration."My predecessor was standing at this podium, but now you want to ask me a lot of questions about it, which I'm happy to answer, but I will just add, there's a lot more scrutiny on this issue from this press corps," Leavitt said.RELATED: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admits Biden's spending worsened inflation "My predecessor stood up at this podium, and she said inflation doesn't exist. She said the border was secure, and people like you just took her at her word, and those were two utter lies!" Leavitt continued. "Everything I'm telling you is the truth, backed by real, factual data, and you just don't want to report on it because you want to push untrue narratives on the president."Video of the argument was posted to social media, where it was widely circulated and viewed.Some polling has shown a loss of support for Trump's policies related to the economy as the pivotal midterm elections grow closer.Like Blaze News?
