FINALLY: Latino Nets Cover the President´s Son… Mexico’s, That Is.

The President´s Son – el hijo del presidente – finally caught the attention of the nation´s leading Spanish-speaking newscasts. Mind you, it wasn’t the scandal-ridden son of OUR sitting president, but that of Mexico´s Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was deemed worthy of a combined six minutes plus of airtime at Telemundo and Univision on Valentine´s Day.

It appears that incriminating news about the son of Mexico’s president is infinitely more important than damning news about Hunter Biden, whose lucrative business dealings with foreign governments and references of payments to “the Big Guy”, as revealed in his laptop scandal, merited a grand total of 1.19 minutes in airtime at the Latino networks, and only after Hunter’s PR stunt before the cameras to Deny EverythingAs MRC Latino reported at the heights of the Hunter Biden laptop scam, December 2020.

Watch the newscasters grant A-block coverage to José Ramón López Bertrán over his lavish lifestyle and alleged relationship with Mexico’s state-run petroleum company (PEMEX), before denouncing his father for criticizing the journalist who published an investigation into the younger López. The following clips were aired over Telemundo´s midday and evening newscasts, and Univision News, on Monday, February 14, 2022:

JORGE RAMOS: Now to Mexico. They asked Mexican President Carlos Loret de Mola to stop attacking journalist Carlos Loret de Mola. He was provoking violence against journalists. The president’s oldest son and wife responded to allegations they were involved in conflict of interests. They lived in the same house last year, which was owned by a PEMEX contractor.

FELICIDAD AVELEYRA : After the luxuries around him were exposed, the son of Mexico’s President defends himself. Now he claims that there is no conflict between his father’s presidency and that he acts as an advisor. Lopez Obrador was not afraid to defend him and attack the journalist who had published this information.

JULIO VAQUEIRO: The eldest son of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador tried to clarify his income to justify his lavish lifestyle. José Ramón López Bertrán took 17 days to provide answers and said he works as an advisor to a construction company.

The contrast in coverage between the two presidential sons is astounding given that, as detailed in the reports, the “controversy” surrounding the younger López concerns his luxurious living conditions in the United States, and his having taken 17 days to respond to reporting from journalist Carlos Loret de Mola. In just six and a quarter minutes, he spoke for nearly one day. Compare that to the concerted suppression of the Hunter Biden SCANDAL by the corporate media, including the Spanish-speaking channels, which This had an immediate impact on the 2020 Presidential Election.

As MRC Latino stated before: the media, including the Spanish-speaking conglomerates, has no qualms in its campaign to “silence dissident speech online and on social media… Big Tech and corporate media are not to be trusted, whether it’s natural immunity, therapeutics or the Hunter Biden Story. Given the amount of time spent on López Beltán vs. Hunter Biden, Telemundo and Univision are further proof of why their audiences mistrust them.

Taco Bell is just one of many advertisers who support suppression and disinformation within the Latino media. This is how it works: LinkTake action now.
