"My job as a journalist is to ask questions from the powerful, and that's what we tried to do," Ramos said, adding that he had on various previous occasions tried to set up an interview with the presidential candidate. (Trump posted a picture of a handwritten note from Ramos to his Instagram account. The note included Ramos' phone number.)
In an interview with ABC, Ramos said that another responsibility of being a journalist is to "denounce" the "dangerous words and extreme behavior of Donald Trump."
Ramos was asked what he would say to critics who say he is more of an advocate than a journalist.
"I think the best journalism happens when you take a stand, and when it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public life, dictatorship or human rights, as journalists, we are not only required but we are forced to take a stand, and clearly when Mr. Trump is talking about immigration in an extreme way, we have to confront him, and I think that's what I did yesterday," he said.

You are late to the table little yapping Jorge. The MSM has already re-defined “journalism”. It’s called PROPAGANDA.
Ramos is a buffoon.
He has been given legitimacy by the “establishment” and he has a large audience many of whom are pro-illegal. Destructive force on the country.
The problem word in the definition is highlighted. It shouldn't be 'journalists' jobs to create news.
“you take a stand, and when it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public life, dictatorship or human rights, as journalists, we are not only required but we are forced to take a stand.
Well then Jorge how do you even have time for Trump?
Based on your criteria President Odunga would be a full time investigation for you.
If any “real journalist” allow Jorge to clainm he’s a journalist without question, then they are not journalist’s.
For example, Stephy should come out an say to Jorge, you’re an activist, not a journalist. But he didn’t, thus Stephy reveals himself to also be an activist and not a journalist - all joining the Megyn Kelly Club.
Ramos was being disruptive.

He got what he came for: to generate a story.
WATTA FRICKIN’ SURPRISE! Jorge Ramos’s daughter works for Hillary’s campaign. Woulda been nice if Whorgay had hung in there and told tvland how he and his fellow invaders planned to overthrow the US govt...w/ Hillary as their ally.
NY POST EXCERPT-—Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers——as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat. Univision’s owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks. Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.)
Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake.Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy business: free-to-air .
THE BIG BURRITO-—HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION-—Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. (WIKI)
WIKI—Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5] Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings.
Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban’s Clinton-era “generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President’s Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues.”[23]
The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife “slept in the White House several times during President Clinton’s two terms.” Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a “very good friend and supporter.”[5] Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]
During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that “Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle.” [25] Saban’s donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.
In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: “I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation’s work, particularly on reconciliation issues.”[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]
In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to “keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries.”[27] The donors, who “were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign”, “were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party ‘superdelegates’ should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate.”[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors “have been strong supporters of the DCCC” and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.
On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had “offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization’s two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat.”[28]
Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”[38]
Haim Saban touts himself as a worldwide pioneer and leader in the entertainment industry. He is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.
THIS IS SABAN’S BUSINESS WEB SITE http://www.saban.com/html/team/saban.html
ANOTHER SURPRISE Hillary fanatic Haim Saban’s non-profit...”The Saban Center”.....subsidized a 34-page white paper titled, “Pathway to Coexistence: A New U.S. Policy toward Iran.” NO CONCIDENCE The paper essentially forecasted Obama’s approach to dealing with Iran: (1) the largely hands-off approach to Iran’s bloody 2009 Green Revolution, and, (2) the present-day compromises on its nuclear program.
The ties between the Clintons and Spanish TV television network-—UNIVISION-—run deep. Univision’s newscasts gleefully bash Republicans and praise Hillary’s newly-minted position on immigration. Network Owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation. Offended by his remarks, Univision dumped Trump’s Miss USA competition-—was aired on Reelz cable.
I think it's dangerous to have so many tacos stuffed in your mouth at a press conference ramos.
NPR - by only telling half the story - is lying.
This rude man who felt his questions should trump the questions of all other journalists was INVITED back to the gathering BY TRUMP... The man was allowed to ask questions when it was him turn...
NPR has held up the low standards of liberal journalists - they lied by only telling half the story.
Shame on them.
Says Whorehay, the media whore...
I would have had him ejected much faster and more forcibly than he was ! The same as any other protester.
Stephy should be asked to condemn Ramos’ actions, and other to condemn Stephy for not condemning Ramos.
This is SOP for the left. Turn about is fair play.
Horhay is confusing “activist” with “journalist”.
Liberals love to take words and re-purpose them. Love means sex, morality means hate, work means oppression, wealth means greed, journalism means activism, equality under the law means equal outcome, constitutional means racist, strong leadership is subjugation, traditional marriage roles is enslavement, a terrorist is a misunderstood freedom fighter, illegal invader is a undocumented worker, tyrant is an activist judge, health insurance is a tax, a fee is not a tax, a toll is not a fee, shall not infringe means shall regulate, prohibiting the free exercise thereof means to prohibit where ever government monies are, education means Marxist indoctrination, and truth means closed mindedness.
NPR.....
Jorge, you’re as much a journalist as you are an American. Not very much of either.
What you are is an advocate without the courage to call yourself as such.
Hey look: yet another pushy, loudmouth mexican who refuses to wait his turn like we do.
Mexicans know that white Americans are weak. I see it every day. They use our civility against us.
