Jorge Ramos, host of the Fusion Network show America with Jorge Ramos, disclosed Friday that his daughter Paola has signed up as an employee of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
In a statement posted to Fusion’s website, Ramos expressed pride for his daughter but insisted his family connection would not affect his objectivity as a journalist:
As journalists the most important thing we have is our credibility and integrity. We maintain that, in part, through transparency with our audience, our colleagues and our critics. That is why I am disclosing that my daughter, Paola, has accepted a position working with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
As a father, I am very proud that she has decided to actively participate in our democratic process. I hope that more young people get involved, regardless of political parties or ideological preferences. Our democracy and our future depend on that.
I completely support and respect Paola’s decision. In our family we have always cherished tolerance, dialogue and active participation in what you believe.
Like many reporters who have parents, siblings or other family members that are active in politics, this will not change how I approach my duty as a journalist. I will continue to report with complete independence and ask the tough questions, the same way I have done for the last 30 years.

There isn't a thing wrong with freezing out Univision. They reneged on a contract trying to choke off possible campaign funds. Then they have the brass to expect a ratings bonanza from a Trump interview ?!?! Screw 'em.
He gives me the *willies*!
He has borderline pedoface like Jared from Subway.
He is an atheist and his daughter works for the devil.
bttt
Daughter works for Hillary? This guy really reeks. Watch for P. Bush wearing a disguise and beard working for Telemundo.
His lack of discernment of criminal behavior in Hillary Clinton manifests a lack of journalistic integrity. Condoning and ignoring criminal behavior is not a credible ideology.
Pay-ola Ramos, how fitting. Just another snotty nosed 21 year old Harvard grad with no sence, no morals. One of if not her first jobs is going to work for a lying, scheming certified crook. Nice family Jorge.
Jorge is a RUDE BULLY!!!! WHO listens to his crap?
BUMP
THE CLINTON-UNIVISION CONNECTION
REFERENCE Bill Clinton will speak (for an undisclosed fee) at Spanish-language network Univision on the subject of “growth and influence of the Latino market" (translation---laying on the latino agit-prop).
The NY Post reports the Univision speech could be part of a strategy with Univision owner, Israeli Haim Saban, to deliver these votes to Hillary. Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul, is also hosting Hollywood fund-raisers for Hillary in LA.
TIT FOR TAT Bill does the paid speech for Haim and Haim helps deal with the critical Hispanic audience for Hillary.
==================================================
WIKI---Latino Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.[22]
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, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

Well then Haim Saban must be late stage dementia if he is a one issue guy, that issue being Isreal, and he is a big RAT contributor.
The little obnoxious shit-bird should self-deport himself.
Zackly!
I don't think that's very likely to be a long-term career.
Surprised he has a daughter. He’s trips my gaydar...
Gov McGreevey had kids too!
That’s OK, Whoregay, we never suspected you of unbiased, objective, integrity journalism anyway.
