Spanish television networks in the United States ignored a jobs report released last week showing that Hispanic unemployment dropped to the lowest level ever recorded in June, according to a report by the Media Research Center (MRC).

National evening newscasts by Telemundo, Univision, Azteca America, and Estrella TV made no mention of the historic milestone for Hispanics in the United States. CNN en Español, Directo USA, and NTN24’s Informativo also ignored the news.
