Spanish-Language Media’s Preferred Coverage of Uvalde Massacre: Push For Gun Control 

Uvalde in Texas was the scene of horrific violence. A teen psychopath killed two teachers and 19 children at school. This has prompted correspondents and anchors from the Spanish-speaking corporate media to rush into coverage for gun control.

Here is just a sample of how Telemundo, Univision, CNN En Español and Estrella TV have given themselves over to lobbying on-air for gun control and opposition to the Second Amendment.

Yes, the massacre brought back Congress’ debate on gun control

Can anything be done at this point?

It is a shameful way to insert politics in heartbreaking stories about tragedy. As new details about the shooter, shooting, and the response of local law enforcement continue emerge, it comes as a rude slap on the faces of people who have suffered the terrible loss of a family member in such tragic circumstances. Especially in a tight-knit community where most of the residents are Hispanic – and in all probability, watch those same news channels.

Shame on the newscasts that chose shameless advocacy to sensitivity. Muy mal.
