Feb 27, 2015: News Busters: MSNBC's Jose Diaz-Balart Showed Major Tilt Before Biased Obama 'Town Hall' -
In anticipation of his town hall meeting with the president, José Díaz-Balart dedicated a little over an hour and a half of his four prior broadcasts of The Rundown to the subject of immigration and to the battle over the funding of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While he occasionally hosted conservative voices on these issues, he overtly sacrificed his objectivity on the altar of advocacy in a number of ways.

José Díaz-Balart (b. 7 November 1960, Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a Cuban-American journalist and television anchorman. He is currently the anchor for Noticiero Telemundo, the network's news program, as well as the network's Washington D.C.-based public affairs Sunday morning program Enfoque. Sometimes described as the Brian Williams of Telemundo, Diaz-Balart delivers news that affects the Latino community. In August 1996 he made history by becoming the first Cuban-American to host a network news program when he became anchor for the CBS News program This Morning. He co-hosted Telemundo Network's first morning news and entertainment show, "Esta Mañana," as well as its public affairs show "Cada Día." Díaz-Balart received two Emmy awards while he was working at WTVJ-TV in Miami, an Associated Press Award and four Hispanic Excellence in Journalism Awards, all in the 1980s. He also received a Du Pont and Peabody as well as the Orchid award for best news anchor in the U.S. in 2006. Media 100 has named him best anchor three times, and Hispanic Business Magazine named him one of the "100 most influential people in the U.S." He was given the Silver Circle Award by the National Academy of Television Sciences in 2010. As of June 2011, Diaz-Balart has filled in for MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer in the 12pm time slot, hosting the one-hour program MSNBC Live.
For the second time Diaz-Balart made history when he substituted for Brewer on MSNBC Live for the week of June 20 through 24, 2011 in the show’s 12 PM time slot, making him the first U.S. journalist to broadcast both English and Spanish newscasts on two networks simultaneously.
