Jorge Ramos Eyeing Return to Mexico.
In the midst of wrapping up a media tour hawking his latest book and on the heels of what he considers – because of the election of Donald Trump – the ‘worst time’ of his 35 years in the United States, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos now says he’s pining to return to Mexico.
In an extensive interview with Spanish-language television personality Jaime Bayly, Ramos, who turned 60 this month, confessed he would like to live in Mexico again, at least “for a while.” “I would like to return to the country I left,” Ramos said with evident nostalgia, calling his desire to return to his homeland “a pending assignment.”
Bayly also singularly succeeded in both confronting – and getting the Univision anchor to admit – that the type of journalism Ramos practices includes activism, specifically when it comes to U.S. immigration policy.
Which brings us to…Children’s March Spokesmoppet Tells CNN’s Media Analyst Brian Stetler That “Journalism is Activism.”
Read: “Progressive” activism.
Stelter, whose frequent guest is Dan Rather (see also: origin of PJ Media’s name) doesn’t argue with her, and Matt Pearce of the L.A. Times concurs, tweeting, “Journalism *is* activism in its most basic form. The entire basis for its ethical practice is the idea that a democracy requires an informed citizenry in order to function. Choosing what you want people to know is a form of activism, even if it’s not the march-and-protest kind.”
Note the admission of bias by selection with “Choosing what you want people to know is a form of activism.” Of course, when conservatives cheer a photo such as this, which has become symbolic of newspaper declines across the country…
… The DNC-MSM immediately switch back to “How dare you impugn our reputations and cheer for our demise. We’re totally objective, we just want the facts,” as if they’re the modern incarnation of Jack Webb’s Detective Joe Friday.
I think an actual journalist would know the difference between “choosing what you want people to know” and creating an informed citizenry. That is creating a PROPAGANDIZED citizenry, which is, of course, what they are doing today and what best serves the Democrat party.
Ramos had to wait until he was wealthy to return to Mexico; there is no middle class there and it takes a lot of money to bribe your way through their corrupt government. Perhaps he can promote changes there that will lead to less corruption and more economic opportunity for non-wealthy there which might reduce the flow of illegal immigrants. At the very least, he would finally be on the correct side of the border to make the Mexico-only immigration argument he routinely makes.
But, this is all academic. Ramos, like every other liberal “threatening” us with their absence, won’t leave the US. Their words do not make for a very nourishing diet.
Jorge is nostalgic for the Mexico of 35 years ago, he won’t like the Mexico of today!
The drug cartels have taken over.
Their assassins have murdered countless media personalities, for less reason than he will be targeted.
