Ramos: My "right" to talk over other reporters and ask Trump grandstanding questions was trampled
HotAir ^ | 08/26/205 | AllahPundit

Posted on 08/26/2015 11:14:54 AM PDT by nhwingut

Is that headline not a fair characterization of what he’s saying here? In what sense was his “right” to question Trump at that moment any greater than any other reporter’s? He says at one point in passing in the clip below, “I thought it was my turn,” but that’s obviously not true. Go watch the video from last night if you haven’t seen it already. Ramos starts speaking as Trump is stepping to the mic, before Trump can so much as look at him. Trump calls on another reporter and Ramos just keeps going.

What he wants to say is that he thought he had a greater moral right to question Trump. He’s an activist. Unlike the other reporters in the room, he was there to push a cause and wanted to use Trump’s media megaphone to amplify it. When you’re speaking open-borders “truth” to security power, your righteous urgency leaves no room for professional courtesy. And now he’s a free-speech martyr, all because Trump wouldn’t stand there and be heckled at length — even though he did eventually let Ramos back in for a little heckling and counter-heckling.

And what about the other reporters who sat like mushrooms and had no reaction to this little Mexican loudmouth? They are so cowed by a minority that they acted like uninterested spectators.

WATTA FRICKIN’ SURPRISE! Jorge’s daughter works for Hillary’s campaign. So when’s Whoregay gonna tell us how he and his fellow invaders intend 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.

Ramos did great diservice to himself . I saw it live and the reruns with the captions because Trump has not learned yet to have a crowd Mic. But Ramos wentwith the righteous “holier that thou” attitude of a leftists and really got his head handed to him. On the Q&A he had to admit that many street gangs are illegal aliens at which point Trump said “ I like this guy— He is honest— We can get along”.
Trump is a Master. I heard him say today on Laura Ingrahm that Roger Ailes called him again THIWS MORNING!!. That is hillarious.

As I listened to that press conference, I noticed something about half-way through.

I hear Ramos loud and clear. I didn’t hear anyone else.

Trump referenced his shouting, and to be honest I didn’t think he had at first. And then I realized that I hear him loud and clear when I didn’t hear the others.

He had to have been shouting. Why would he think he could get away with that?

Even when he was let back in, he was rude. He wouldn’t let Trump answer his questions. He interrupted constantly.

He’s a little twerp.

That is the anarchist concept of freedom. As the renter of the venue, Trump had the right to allow whoever he wanted to speak to speak without interruption.The interrupter is the one violating Trump's rights.

Ramos is a media whore in the same vein as Megyn Kelly and Whorealdo Rivera.

Jorge Ramos was thrown out for being disrespectful, namely, when Trump called on a different reporter on the other side of the room, Jorge interrupted and then wouldn’t shut up. It’s as simple as that. I for one am tired of seeing the kommiemedia trying to bully candidates they don’t like and watching the candidates take their beatings like good little momma’s boys. Trump as least has the huevos to fight back. GO TRUMP!

Heck, Hillary won’t even let the press get within shouting distance of her, and that seems to be ok with the kommiemedia. Go figure.

[BTW, Jorge, you CLAIM to be a journalist, that is, one who REPORTS what’s happening; that’s not the same thing as having a “right” to “challenge” a candidate whom you disagree with.Now you’re advocating that ALL journalists denounce Trump? So, that’s YOUR idea of a “journalist”? Someone who denounces people when they’re pretending to be interviewing them? The latter is what an activist does,not a journalist.. So, now at least the mask has officially been pulled away for you, namely, you are NOT actually a journalist, but an activist POSING as a journalist. AND more and more people are starting to see why the rest of us have held so-called “journalists” in such low regard for so long. Namely, most “journalists” are simply activist poseurs, and 99.99% are members of the kommiemedia.]

If he was a ‘Journalist’ then I would say he MIGHT have a right, but the way he TREATED a person that is in a national campaign for POTUS should and will demand more respect than some piece of S... like Ramos...

If you want respect, then EARN IT!!!

He did those who are open minded a good deed by showing them EXACTLY the attitude of this horde.

After my grand dad come here he learned English and he enlisted in the Army and went to France. He obtained his Citizenship deservedly after that. I bet Ole Whoregay did no such thing...he came here and promptly began promoting how racist the country was toward him “and his people.” Given the opportunity, I would tell Whoregay FU and go back where you came from, scum.

He does that when he's interviewed by BOR. He never shuts up to hear an answer. He just keeps talking, even to the point of answering his own questions. Incredibly rude and horrible guest.

Like to see him try that at an iL Douche’ press conference.

Trump did exactly the right thing, shut up or get out.
Saw that clod on Hannity 2 nights ago.
Typical dim, talk over the opposition.
