Jorge Ramos

Múltiples rincones del Internet se vieron conmocionados por la noticia de que Univisión y su presentador principal de noticias acordaron desvincularse a finales de año, tras la expiración del contrato de jorge Ramos. Si bien se trata de un avance positivo, insto a que se tenga cuidado con etiquetar esta medida como indicativa de cualquier tipo de cambio ideológico en la cadena.

Multiple corners of the internet were roiled by the news that Univision and senior anchor Jorge Ramos agreed to part ways at the end of the year. While this is a welcome development, I would urge caution against labeling this move as indicative of any sort of ideological shift at the network.

On this day in 2015, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos partook in one of the landmark media moments of the Trump Era: his expulsion from then-candidate Donald Trump’s press conference in Dubuque, Iowa. But, as Ramos himself would later admit, the whole thing was manufactured.

In the face of President Biden’s difficulties in holding his campaign together in the wake of his disastrous debate performance, it is worth looking back to the Big Thoughts of Univision anchor and Special Advisor to the CEO Jorge Ramos, to wit: his open support for the idea of Squad Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez running for the presidency in 2024.

There’s been a great deal of serious discussion in the wake of President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance as to whether he should remain on the 2024 ticket, and then there is what Congressman Adriano Espaillat vomited out while on Univision’s AL Punto with Jorge Ramos.

In his most recent opinion column, Univision anchor and Special Advisor to the CEO Jorge Ramos complains about the most recent version of immigration amnesty enacted via administrative rule by President Joe Biden. In Ramos’ view, it simply isn’t enough.

It is instructive to remember the words of Jorge Ramos, Univision’s senior anchor and Special Editorial Adviser to the CEO, about the original indictment of former President Donald Trump’s in New York’s business records case, given that there is now a conviction on the books.

Much of the media analysis of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the South Bronx centers around whether it was electorally savvy or good campaign strategy. Little has been said about the outbreak of bigotry vomited over the airwaves subsequent to the rally.

Much of the media’s runup to the 2024 presidential election has consisted of moralistic hand wringing about Democracy Itself being on the line, an echo of President Joe Biden’s own talking points. However, some of us remember a not-too-distant time ago, when some of today’s loudest outlets platformed an ACTUAL insurrectionist.

In a recent opinion column, Univision anchor and Senior Editorial Advisor to the CEO Jorge Ramos complained, yet again, about the use of the word “illegal” to describe people who are in the country illegally. This is a new version of a column written several times before, but that begins to acknowledge the realities of the immigration debate in 2024.

The most pro-open borders anchor in television got shut down on his own Sunday show on borders and immigration, and it wasn’t even close. Time and time again, Jorge Ramos was forcefully rebutted on the narratives he’s served his viewership for decades. 

During a segment on Univision political affairs show Al Punto, host Jorge Ramos complained that the Senate border bill was too restrictive inasmuch as it didn’t address permanence for those in the country illegally before the ongoing border crisis. No DREAM Act, no DACA, no pathway to citizenship.

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, during an interview with U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX), expressed surprise and pain over the fact that the current border deal being negotiated between the Senate and the White House contains no provision to legalize anyone in the country illegally.

The networks’ coverage of the ongoing border disaster has been spotty, at best, inasmuch as it is a story that is unfavorable to the Biden administration. Therefore, there hasn’t been any reporting on the demands made by Mexico’s president in exchange for assistance at the border. Shockingly, Univision was the network to finally break that ice.
