It is our long held belief that Univision is, fundamentally, an immigration advocacy organization with broadcast licensing. A recent report from North Carolina extolling active obstruction of ICE operations proves this point. Watch as a North Carolina man describes keeping silent in order to lead ICE to believe he is in the country illegally, in order to protect his father from deportation: XEYLI ALFARO: Trying to buy time, he kept quiet in order to save his father and other workers. FERNANDO VAZQUEZ: They asked me where I was from, and I didn't say anything. I stayed quiet. ALFARO: Upon receiving the call, Fernando's father managed to hide. VAZQUEZ, SENIOR: What I mean is—if I ran in the parking lot they'd catch me, and since the company truck was nearby, I jumped in. I tried to hide in the back seat. ALFARO: He says he stayed there for about 15 minutes without moving, listening as the agents searched the place. It is worth noting that this report ran on prime A-block, so committed is Univision to advocating for open borders and unfettered immigration. The report opens with the young man giving a demonstration of how he activated his phone remotely so he could tip his father off as to the worksite raid. The report shifts to the actual deception: the young man concealing his U.S. citizen status long enough for his illegal alien father to hide from ICE agents. This is followed by reaction from the father, and testimony from another friend who claims to have been reverse-profiled. The report closes with more from the father, who laments having to live in a position of always hiding from the authorities. These victim narratives being allowed to flourish are an essential part of Univision’s immigration advocacy Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on Noticiero Univision on Thursday, November 20th, 2025 ILIA CALDERÓN: From North Carolina comes another account of an ICE operation. Agents arrived at a construction site, and one of the workers only thought about warning his father who wasn't there so he could get to safety. And although he was able to do so, they arrested him despite being a U.S. citizen, as Xeyli Alfaro tells us. FERNANDO VÁZQUEZ: Hey Siri, Call Papi. KHEILI ALFARO: That's how the call went down where Fernando Vázquez saved his father from being arrested by ICE in North Carolina. VAZQUEZ  I thought of calling him on Siri. ALFARO:  Fearing that he’d be shot for getting involved, he reached down his pants to grab his phone and asked the virtual assistant Siri to call his dad.  VAZQUEZ, SENIOR: Hello? VAZQUEZ: Run, run, run! Immigration is here! ALFARO: The 18-year-old, born in the city of Raleigh, says that the officers were passing by the construction site where a daycare center is being built and stopped to question him when they saw him. VAZQUEZ: I don't know if they saw the color of my skin. ALFARO: Trying to buy time, he kept quiet in order to save his father and other workers. VAZQUEZ: They asked me where I was from, and I didn't say anything. I stayed quiet. ALFARO: Upon receiving the call, Fernando's father managed to hide. VAZQUEZ, SENIOR: What I mean is—if I ran in the parking lot they'd catch me, and since the company truck was nearby, I jumped in. I tried to hide in the back seat. ALFARO: He says he stayed there for about 15 minutes without moving, listening as the agents searched the place. After being arrested there, Fernando was put in ICE vans and then driven for two miles. And then they suddenly released him. VAZQUEZ: My wallet. ALFARO: Fernando recounts that the officers searched his wallet and found his documents, yet they still took him away along with other workers. Three people were arrested that day. Mario Benítez is the brother of one of those detained. He maintains that he was spared because of the color of his skin. MARIO BENITEZ: They first asked me if I was born here, I said yes, and then they focused more on my brother, who looks more -um- Hispanic. ALFARO: Fernando ran back to the construction site, drove the truck, and brought his father out, still hiding. The frustration is immense, says Fernando's father, who today, like many families in North Carolina, lives locked inside and, when he goes out into the yard, does so with fear, making sure no one is watching him. In Raleigh, North Carolina, Xeyli Alfaro, Univision.  

The White House debuted a new section Friday on its website called the "Media Offender of the Week” at whitehouse.gov/mediabias. The elitist media can't stand being criticized. Beneath a banner reading "Misleading. Biased. Exposed.," the page highlights a series of media outlets and reporters, with the latest offenders being CBS News, The Independent and The Boston Globe on the “illegal orders” video Democrats made. “The Democrats and Fake News Media subversively implied that President Trump had issued illegal orders to service members," they argued. "Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful,” it reads. “It is dangerous for sitting Members of Congress to incite insubordination in the United States’ military, and President Trump called for them to be held accountable.” They added under “key points” that “President Trump has never issued an illegal order. The Fake News knew that, but ran with the story anyway.” The site features an "Offender Hall of Shame" that includes AP, Axios, CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), and the Daily Beast. Below the "Hall of Shame," users are presented with claims from various outlets that the site categorizes under labels such as "Bias," "Lie," “Omission of Context,” "Malpractice" and "Left-wing Lunacy.” At the bottom, they pitched: “Sign up for ‘Offender Alerts’ delivered to your inbox.” The Washington Post gave this the headline “Trump ramps up reporter attacks with White House media bias tracker.” We have a rejoinder: “The Washington Post ramps up attacks on president.” Daily. Post media reporter Scott Nover described the page as “devoted to naming and shaming media outlets and reporters that publish stories it disagrees with.” It’s not just about disagreement. Yes, the president disagrees when you “report” he is a Nazi! To the Post, the best journalism is the most vicious anti-Trump journalism, trotting out a Post "spokesperson" to express: “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism." The White House puts the Post at the top of the fake-news "Leaderboard." Naturally, the Post found a leftist source to channel its view that Trump is a liar who hates the badly named “mainstream media.” Seth Stern, director of advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation, said Trump has made it clear that his issue isn’t with media bias but with “journalists not flattering him and regurgitating his lies.” “People understand the obvious conflict inherent in a presidential administration appointing itself the arbiter of media bias, and I expect that after the initial wave of publicity, few Americans will be paying attention to this latest stunt,” Stern said. “The gimmick is wearing thin.” PS: When we were asked about this on Newsmax on Friday night, we endorsed it. Curtis Houck, who monitors every White House briefing, was all smiles, noting that NewsBusters has supplied media-bias examples the White House has cited. Naturally, @CurtisHouck and I are going to support the White House making a web page for a 'Media Offender of the Week' at https://t.co/AUOEYwZ1lj.

George Conway, co-founder of the disgraced Lincoln Project, was a guest on Saturday's edition of The Weekend on MS NOW. Conway has announced that he is thinking of running for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District—one of the most liberal districts in the country.  And the New York Times has reported that Conway has said that if he does run, he will do so as a Democrat. Conway's platform: “I want to fight these mothers.” The "mothers" in question being Trump & Co., of course. So, naturally, host Eugene Daniels introduced Conway as a "conservative" lawyer. When will they stop with this absurd charade?  Conway proceeded to accuse American military officials of "murder" for having ordered a second strike on a narco boat in order to eliminate two crew members who apparently survived. "No matter what legal regime you apply to the second strike, it's murder. Period. No matter what the legal framework is, it's murder." That same New York Times article cited above reported that Conway had bragged to potential campaign donors that he is "a top attorney who does not 'have any more effs to give.'” Speaking of bragging, the segment began with a clip of Mark Kelly, apropos the investigation into him and fellow Democrats over their video telling military members not to obey illegal orders, saying that President Trump: "Is trying to get some fear out there. And fear can be contagious. But what also can be contagious is courage and patriotism." How courageous of Kelly to go on Jimmy Kimmel's show and boast of his courage and patriotism, eliciting rapturous cheers and applause from the audience! Note: Liberals have been shocked and appalled by Trump accusing Kelly & Co. of "sedition." But the panel was all in for Conway explicitly accusing military officials, presumably including the Commander-in-Chief, of "murder."  Here's the transcript. MS NOW The Weekend 11/29/25 8:01 am ET EUGENE DANIELS: Despite the investigation against him, Senator Kelly is making it clear he's not backing down. Here's what he told Jimmy Kimmel this week.  MARK KELLY: He's trying to get some fear out there. And fear can be contagious. But what also can be contagious is courage and patriotism. Every one of us has First Amendment speech rights. And I think the president is infringing on those. And he's sending a pretty strong message. You do not want to cross him. And your loyalty should be to him. It should not. It should always be to the Constitution [Kimmel audience cheers and applauds.]  DANIELS: [Pointing down the panel] We've got a clapping over here.  Joining us now, conservative lawyer George Conway. He's also president of Society for the Rule of Law, and Politico magazine senior writer Ankush Khardori. He's also a former federal prosecutor.  . . .  JACKIE ALEMANY: Can we get to the Venezuela of it all? The Washington Post -- we, we went through this article earlier, but just to remind our viewers, has this very damning article about the Defense Department's orders to kill two people who were on a boat off of Venezuelan waters, off of the Venezuelan coast, who were not killed in an initial drone strike.  It's almost like Mark Kelly and the rest of those Democratic senators actually might have known what they were talking about, or potentially already knew about this report coming out. But there are former military lawyers, people who have actually advised special operations forces in the past, who believe that this order amounts to a war crime. Which is that, they called it in essence an order to show no quarter.  GEORGE CONWAY: It actually isn't a war crime because there is no war. It's worse than a war crime because, first of all, the bombings in the first place were illegal because these, there is no war.  ALEMANY: Right.  CONWAY: And these were not combatants.  DANIELS: We don't know who they are. Even to this day, we don't know who they are. CONWAY: They weren't, it wasn't a naval vessel. It wasn't, there is no war between us and Venezuela. And these people were not sailors or soldiers fighting with weapons against us.  So, that, the law of war doesn't even, you don't even get to the law of war. But even if it were, even if these guys were a naval ship armed to the teeth and the ship was blown up and these guys were in the water, firing against them would be an act, would be a violation of the laws of war.  No matter how you look at this, you can apply civilian law, military law, the Uniform Court [sic, Code] of Military Justice, international law, foreign law, domestic law, federal law, state law, no matter what legal regime you apply to the second strike, it's murder. Period. There's not even an argument. That's how outrageous this is.  JONATHAN CAPEHART: George, you named a lot of laws there. All of them, right. CONWAY: No matter what the legal framework is, it's murder.  CAPEHART: Right. 

The actual Thanksgiving Day has passed. Doubtless the media is letting forth a sigh of relief that while the Christmas season is now upon us, honoring Santa Claus is a whole lot easier than going through - again! - the annual debate over those pesky Pilgrims and what really happened when those European white guys landed on the shores of New England, poised to steal and ravage everything belonging to Native Americans. Geoffrey Dickens here at NewsBusters has perfectly touched on the problem lefty journos have in dealing with Thanksgiving Day. Among other things he noted: “Over the years the MRC has tracked liberal journalists’ hatred of this very American holiday and how they’ve tried to ruin it for everybody. The following are some of the most egregious examples of lib journos attempts to wreck Thanksgiving:” He goes on to list three ways the lefty media has organized its disdain, including: -- America was "founded on violence" -- Politics ruin Thanksgiving, unless you're lecturing conservatives -- How dare (Republican) presidents exploit Thanksgiving for photo-ops Geoff does a great job of illustrating just how the lib media treats a unique and decidedly favorite American holiday. But without question, the media has not made the sale of its disdain for Thanksgiving to the American people themselves. All one has to do is watch the traditional Macy’s Thanksgiving parade in New York and the media’s problem is evident. The streets of New York -- lefty New York at that! -- are jam packed with thousands of Americans cheering on marching bands from around the country, not to mention those gigantic balloons of this or that cartoon character, all of those anchored in some fashion that leaves watching kids agog. A few years back, along with a few cousins, I ventured into Manhattan the night before Thanksgiving to watch those balloons and floats be prepped for their debut the next day. It was an amazing sight. The balloons and floats had taken over the side streets of Manhattan, and those side streets, not to mention the main avenues were already packed with thousands of regular folks who were there to get a sneak preview of what the world would see through the eyes of the television lenses the next day. There was, quite literally, considerable difficulty just walking along the streets. They were jammed with people of all ages oohhing and ahhing as they watched the balloons and floats get prepped for their holiday debut. And that next day debut was exactly like what Americans and the larger world saw Thursday as they waited for the family turkey to be cooked to perfection along with the usual assortment of side dishes.  The streets of New York -- say again the streets of the biggest deep-blue city in America -- were filled with tens of thousands of people cheering on the parade, not to mention giving the final float a rousing cheer for the red suited jolly man who sat atop that float at the end of the parade. Santa Claus of course! All of which should (but probably won’t) send a message to the left wing, Trump-hating media that whether it’s the thousands filling the streets of New York for the Macy’s parade or millions more stretched around the rest of the country who are watching the TV parade coverage from home, Americans are not buying the gloom and doom about America or its current President regularly dumped out of television and computer screens by left-wing journos.  Now the Christmas season is officially launched. Decorated Christmas trees are already appearing through the windows of homes and businesses in my Pennsylvania neck of the woods. And so too are they already in evidence out here on Eastern Long Island (the decidedly not-the-Hamptons parts where extended family resides, although Christmas decorations are popping out there too!) Which says that one of the decidedly unintentional messages from all of this is that try as they might, the lefty media is not only not convincing average Americans that something is terribly wrong with their country and their President (that would be the President they voted for in 2024) but they are going about their everyday business and not buying into the anti-American propaganda that spews forth from various lefty networks and newspapers. Imagine that. So on we all go -- with a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah now within sight. Even if that makes the liberal media an electronic version of a Charles Dickens’ favorite -- Scrooge!

The "Week In Politics" segment on the PBS News Hour once pretended to match a liberal pundit and a conservative pundit, as it did with Mark Shields and Paul Gigot early in this century. But when David Brooks came along, he often agreed with everything Shields and then Jonathan Capehart had to say. "Balance," PBS style. On Friday, former Reagan and Bush aide Peter Wehner sounded like a Capehart clone as they teamed up to trash President Trump after two West Virginia National Guard members were shot in the nation's capital by an Afghan refugee. It’s a little weird to say it’s ghoulish to turn the shooting victims into political pawns, and then launch into using them in your anti-Trump jeremiad. JOHN YANG: Pete, I wonder how you — what you make of the way the president responded. He immediately sent in 500 more troops. He immediately blamed the Biden administration for admitting the alleged shooter, and then cut off — essentially cut off a lot of immigration. PETER WEHNER, The Atlantic: Yes, I'd say he reacted predictably and awfully. He predicted — as he is. This was sort of the Trump DNA kicking in. I should say first that I just find a kind of ghoulishness that happens, when people die, tragedies in life, and the way that the people who die and the victims are turned into political pawns. That's always left me kind of disquieted. That's particularly the case here and now. But, look, Trump is taking advantage. This is going back to the fever swamp from which he came. His first announcement when he — for president in 2015, when he came down the golden escalator, was what? It was an attack on Mexicans, where he said they were drug dealers and criminals and rapists. Then, during the campaign, he said that he was going to ban Muslims from coming into the country. And that united his base. So I think he's returning to form, but I think it's broader now. And in this case, with the Afghans that he's attacking, these are people who either helped the United States during the war or were targeted by the Taliban themselves. And this was an act of American decency and compassion. And to take that and turn it around and to go after these — this weak and vulnerable people and then broaden it to a wider attack on immigrants is a really ugly thing to see. Excuse us: the "weak and vulnerable people" right now are the shooting victims, not Afghan immigrants. PBS and its partners at PolitiFact won’t check on Trump wanted to “ban Muslims” from entering the country (instead of from seven Muslim countries with terrorism problems) and “united his base” behind it. PBS sees “Islamophobia” in any concern about violent Islamists, as does NPR.  John Yang then asked for the actual Capehart to speak: “Jonathan?” JONATHAN CAPEHART: Well, this is not a surprise. Anyone who's been paying attention to President Trump would have expected this reaction. To Peter's point, he's been saying these things, these anti-immigrant, xenophobic things since he started his — since he entered the political arena. Go all the way back to the birther controversy with President Obama. So the idea that he now, in a second term where he feels unleashed, unfettered, is surrounded by an administration that is enabling him to do all the things he wants to do, the fact that he used a tragedy to sort of amp up what he was already trying to do, not shocking at all. When it comes to bringing 500 more National Guard troops here to Washington, for what purpose? I mean, originally, he said it's about crime. Well, if you're really serious about crime, I think a functioning White House, a functioning Justice Department would work with local officials from the mayor and certainly the police chiefs to talk about, how can we help you with crime? Even though, in a city like Washington and other large cities around the country, crime has been falling. And so I think what we see is that the National Guard, to Peter's point, they have been — it's sad when people who lose their lives are instantly used as political pawns. But the National Guard, they have been used as pawns from the very beginning, brought in under the guise of crime, and then used for other things, the National Guard here used to beautify the parks. That's not what they're for. And so what the president is doing is, it's shameful, it's xenophobic, and in the end, it is going to hurt America's national security. This perpetrator worked with the CIA in Afghanistan with the United States. And we all know what he was doing. He was helping us, furthering our national security interests. So let that sink in: Capehart is being more complimentary to THE SHOOTER than he is to Trump. Since that pile of insults somehow wasn’t enough, Yang went back for another heaping scoop: “Pete, do you want to add to that?” Capehart Two replied by again smearing all Trump voters as “morally deformed” haters: WEHNER: No, I just underscore what Jonathan said. This — it's so central to understand about Donald Trump and I think his psychological makeup, which is that he seems to draw energy from hatred, from generating hatred toward other people. And this capacity to unleash the dark passions and the dark emotions, we have never seen anything like it, certainly in modern American history, maybe in all of American history. And the way he — the capacity that he has to amplify that is extraordinary. And the one other thing I would add to it is, he does know what he's doing in this sense. His base responds to this. This is a base that has been morally deformed, and that was at the beginning of the Trump administration. But 10 years of this has turned it into an even worse manifestation. At the end of the segment, Yang bizarrely asked these Trump haters how they deal with "uncomfortable conversations" in our "polarized" country over the holidays, and Wehner dared to say the goal is "to try and connect with people on a human level, and then to remind ourselves not to dehumanize, and politics is not defining to who we are. It matters. We're in politics because we think it does matter, but, in the end, it's not the most important thing, and we have to have civility in that approach." Capehart, as expected from an MS NOW host, did not agree with that.
