a brief period at Telemundo, where he was cohost and producer of the program De mañanita and co-anchored the network's coverage of the 9/11 attacks, Del Rincón attained enormous popularity on Univision, where he worked from 2002 to 2010. At Univision, he served as anchor on the programs Primer Impacto and Ver para creer and was also a correspondent for Noticiero Univision as well as anchor of various other programs and specials. Fernando Del Rincon and Carmen Dominicci were fired from the program Primer Impacto and the network in 2008 as a result of allegations made by Dominicci of domestic abuse from Del Rincon. From March 2009 to August 2010, Del Rincón was host of Mega News Nocturno, broadcast by Mega TV, owned by the Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS). Since 2010, Del Rincón has been with CNN. He has cohosted Panorama Mundial with Patricia Janiot and is currently the host of Panorama USA and Conclusiones for CNN Latino. The latter program also appears on CNN en Español. In addition, he has appeared on CNN English. Coverage and interviews Del Rincón has interviewed such celebrated figures as Nobel laureate Rigoberta Menchú, Mexican president Vicente Fox, Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad, and authors Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa. He has also covered the war in Iraq, 9/11, California fires, the Japanese tsunami and earthquake, elections in Venezuela, Guatemala, and Mexico, student protests in Venezuela, and other events of international importance. Accusation by Maduro After del Rincón had reported extensively on anti-Chavista protests in Venezuela and on the authorities’ response to them, the Cuba-friendly website Cubainformación accused him in February 2014 of lying about the Venezuelan government and encouraging protesters. In March 2014, Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela, accused del Rincón of encouraging unrest in Venezuela. "He is doing war reportage," said Maduro of del Rincón, who at the time was reporting from Venezuela for CNN en Español. "If I deny him permission and expel him from the country, then I'm a dictator and they tell the world I am a dictator." Maduro also made unflattering references to del Rincon's personal life. Del Rincon responded that he found Maduro's remarks “juvenile” but added that for a journalist, being mentioned personally by a head of state is like "gold", and for that "distinction" he was grateful to the president.
