    As Donald Trump and Jorge Ramos Clash, Latino News Media Airs Its Offense

    By ASHLEY PARKERAUG. 26, 2015

    Ricardo Sánchez, known as “El Mandril” on his Spanish-language, drive-time radio show in Los Angeles, has taken to calling Donald J. Trump “El hombre del peluquín” — the man of the toupee.

    Some of Mr. Sánchez’s listeners are less kind, referring to Mr. Trump, who has dismissed some Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and criminals, simply as “Hitler.”

    Mr. Sánchez says that he tries to focus on the positive in presidential politics, but he, too, at times has used harsh language to describe Mr. Trump, a real estate mogul, according to translations of his show provided by his executive producer.

    “A president like Trump would be like giving a loaded gun to a monkey,” Mr. Sanchez said in one broadcast. “But a gun that fires atomic bullets.”

    The adversarial relationship between Mr. Trump and the Spanish-language news media, which has simmered publicly since he announced his candidacy in June, boiled over on Tuesday at a news conference in Dubuque, Iowa, when the candidate erupted at Jorge Ramos, the main news anchor at Univision and Fusion, when he tried to ask a question without being called on. Mr. Trump signaled to one of his security guards, who physically removed Mr. Ramos from the event.

    “Don’t touch me, sir. Don’t touch me,” Mr. Ramos said, as he was marched out of the room. “I have the right to ask a question.”

    Mr. Ramos was eventually allowed to return. But for the Spanish-language press, which has grown in size and influence in politics, the tense exchange was a highly public flexing of muscle against a candidate who many outlets no longer pretend to cover objectively: They are offended by Mr. Trump’s words and tactics — and they are showing it.

    Some, including Mr. Ramos, said that their networks have covered Mr. Trump more aggressively than their mainstream counterparts, which until recently, at least, largely dismissed Mr. Trump as a summer amusement — less a serious candidate than a ratings bonanza in the form of a bombastic reality television star. (After the dust-up with Mr. Ramos on Tuesday night, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists issued a statement condemning Mr. Trump.)

    Mr. Ramos, who earlier this month delivered a searing indictment of Mr. Trump, calling him, “the loudest voice of intolerance, hatred and division in the United States,” attributed the difference in approach to how directly the issue of immigration affects Latino Americans.

    “This is personal, and that’s the big difference between Spanish-language and mainstream media, because he’s talking about our parents, our friends, our kids and our babies,” Mr. Ramos said in a telephone interview.

    Mr. Ramos, who has been called the Walter Cronkite of Latino America for the tremendous influence he holds with Hispanic viewers, said that he could not recall Spanish-language news media covering a story as aggressively as it has Mr. Trump’s candidacy.

    And though cable news and the Sunday morning news shows have blanketed their political coverage with stories about Mr. Trump’s improbable campaign, the focus of Spanish-language news programs has been almost exclusively on Mr. Trump’s controversial stance on immigration.

    About 58 percent of all mentions of Mr. Trump in mainstream news media — broadcast, cable, radio and online outlets — in the past month have focused on immigration, while on Spanish-language news programs, the proportion is almost 80 percent, according to an analysis by Two.42.Solutions, a nonpartisan media analytics company. The Spanish-language news media has also been more critical in its coverage of Mr. Trump’s positions on the issue, with nearly all of it negative in tone.

    José Díaz-Balart, the main anchor for Telemundo and MSNBC who takes a straight-news approach to his coverage and does not consider himself an advocate, nonetheless said that because of its viewership, Telemundo has delved deeper into the specifics of Mr. Trump’s immigration plan than many English-language outlets and has covered his candidacy with a sense of “urgency.”

    “Our audience is very well versed, very knowledgeable, very well educated on the issue of immigration,” Mr. Díaz-Balart said, adding that his viewers are eager to hear “what are you realistically proposing and planning to do on the issues that are so important to the community.”

    When Mr. Trump visited the United States-Mexico border last month, the Spanish-language networks devoted more time to Mr. Trump in their evening broadcasts than their English-language counterparts; Univision gave Mr. Trump six minutes, while Telemundo — which had Mr. Díaz-Balart anchor his nightly newscast live from the border — spent nine minutes on Mr. Trump.

    In addition to his comments calling Mexican immigrants drug dealers and rapists, Mr. Trump’s immigration plan — which includes erecting a wall along the southern border and ending birthright citizenship — has also earned the ire of many Hispanics, who are expected to be a critical voting bloc in 2016.

    Univision severed ties with the Miss Universe Organization, of which Mr. Trump is a part owner, because of his offensive comments about Mexican immigrants. Mr. Trump is now suing the network for $500 million.

    Ken Oliver-Méndez, the director of the Hispanic media arm of the conservative Media Research Center, said that in the Spanish-language news media, “There’s just very opinionated, very sweeping condemnations of Donald Trump taking place.”

    An analysis of news, blogs and forums by Crimson Hexagon, a nonpartisan social media analytics software company, also found that overall mentions of Mr. Trump in the Spanish-language news media since he announced his candidacy were 69 percent negative, but were less negative — 58 percent — in the English-language news media.

    Critics of the Spanish-language news coverage, including Mr. Oliver-Méndez, say that the Hispanic press is engaging in advocacy and not journalism.

    “The Spanish-language media is basically taking Trump through the prism of what’s best for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, so to the extent that Trump is coming out with statements that are threatening the existence of that community, he’s been covered like an enemy,” he said.

    He pointed to several moments last week on the national United States evening news broadcasts of Azteca America, a Spanish-language television network. In one, an anchor said that Mr. Trump had nothing in his head but air, and in another, Armando Guzmán, a Washington correspondent, accused Mr. Trump of lying: “As in everything else, Trump is not telling the truth,” Mr. Guzmán said.

    The last one-on-one interview Mr. Trump gave to a Spanish-language network was with Mr. Díaz-Balart on Telemundo, shortly after Mr. Trump announced his candidacy. The Trump campaign said it continues to give credentials to Spanish-language organizations for its events and treats them like all other news media.

    Alex Nogales, the president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, a civil rights organization focused on American Latinos, said that the Spanish-language news media’s coverage of Mr. Trump has broad implications for the presidential election, whether or not he becomes the Republican nominee.

    He said that for Latino voters, there will be a “reinforcement in terms of what they’re hearing, what they’re seeing, what they’re listening to” from the Republican candidates.

    Lawrence Glick, an executive vice president at the Trump Organization who oversees golf, called Mr. Nogales this month, saying “he wanted to make peace” and set up a meeting with Mr. Trump, Mr. Nogales said. (The coalition has been calling for the suspension of all professional golf tournaments from Trump courses). But the two men seem to have reached an impasse, with no meeting imminent.

    Mr. Ramos, for his part, sees a possible bright spot in Mr. Trump’s 2016 role.

    “The only positive thing I might think of for Mr. Trump is that he brought immigration to the forefront of the 2016 campaign,” he said.

    Well, the great thing about America is that if you're listening to Spanish-language television, it's probably because you don't speak English, and if you don't speak English, you probably can't vote!



    American citizens of Hispanic and Latino descent are going to view the immigration problem the same way as every other American. To believe otherwise, is a discriminatory view against them because of their ethnicity. Unless of course they work for an immigration advocacy and line their pockets based on promoting one ethnicity at the expense of others.

    And just a little information about Mr. Ramos:

    In 1983, he left Mexico on a student visa for Los Angeles, California, where he planned to enroll in UCLA extension journalism classes.
    Personal life

    Ramos earned a master's degree in international studies at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida. In 2008, Ramos became a United States citizen.[5]
    Ramos has been married twice. His first wife was Gina Montaner, daughter of exiled Cuban author Carlos Alberto Montaner. They had one daughter, Paola (born 198.[10][11] In 1992, he married Lisa Bolivar in a Roman Catholic ceremony at the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[12][13] They had one son, Nicolas, and divorced in 2005.[14] He dated Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera[4] and since 2011, he has been in relationship with Venezuelan TV host and actress, Chiquinquirá Delgado,[14][15] who has two daughters from previous relationships.[14] He lives in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.[16]
    Although born Roman Catholic, Ramos is an atheist,[17] and criticized Pope Francis for presiding over the canonization of Pope John Paul II, who he believes willingly covered up abuses committed by Catholic priests.[18] On being both Mexican and American, Ramos stated: "I finally recognized that I cannot be defined by one country. I am from both countries. It took me many years to make peace with that thought, and that I was never going back to Mexico."[5]

    Ramos disclosed in June of 2015 that his daughter, Paola Ramos, is working for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.[19]
    Okay, he "planned" to attend UCLA on a student visa. Well, did he?

    He attended the University of Miami some years later. On another student visa? Or Reagan Amnesty, Clinton Amnesty or illegally?

    He was "torn between the two countries" and didn't pursue citizenship until 2008. What was he prior to that? Here on a green card? Still running that "student visa"? An amnestied illegal alien?

    He's an atheist and his daughter works for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

    He's rude and thinks every press conference is about him and his questions with no regard or respect to the other reporters in the room.

    Ramos is done. Stick a fork in him.

    GO TRUMP!

    Jorge Ramos has an agenda for open borders and "let them all come". I liked when Donald Trump asked him if the gang members should go. Ramos is on the "act of love" train. His thinking is detrimental to United States.


    He definitely got his desired spotlight for himself and his network.

    But I don't think Hispanic/Latino Voters will like the type of attention he drew to himself. He wasn't asking questions that would beneit Hispanic/Latino Voters, he was only asking questions that could benefit illegal aliens. The erroneous assumption by the "political strategists" regarding the Hispanic vote is that they only care immigration, when in fact they want it stopped as much as any of us. It would be like going to a black neighborhood and expecting them to vote based on whether we let more Somalians into the US. It's ridiculous.

    Romney didn't lose the election because of the Hispanic Vote, he lost it because of the women vote.

    Wake Up Republicans. Or you're looking at the same outcome again in 2016.
