Veteran journalist and presenter Jorge Ramos criticized Univisi's interview with Donald Trump, while calling for good journalism, especially in the face of a hostile environment ahead of the 2024 presidential elections.
"I think that Trump must be questioned and confronted; for democracy, for the rights of immigrants and, simply, to do good journalism," Ramos wrote in a column titled "The danger of not confronting Trump," which he published in his web site.
Ramos was blunt in his criticism of the interview that was broadcast by Univisi on November 9, which, he said, called into question the independence of the news department, creating unrest and confusion within the newsroom.
He recalled that on August 25, 2015, the then presidential candidate had him thrown out with a bodyguard from a press conference in Dubuque, Iowa, after he tried to ask him several questions.
