"We report, but we also have to challenge those who are in power," Ramos said
And that’s what it’s all about.
American journamalists should take note.

Haven’t almost all major anchors had spots either during their news cast or on other shows where they give opinions?

“Mr. O’Reilly, I don’t think you are the right person to lecture me on advocacy and journalism when you spend most of your program giving opinions without asking questions,” he said.
“I’m a commentator, that’s what I do,” the Fox host said in response.
Boom!!! O’Reily, you are also a hypocrite. I like Jorge. A lot. I wish more would do their jobs the way he does his.
O’Reilly’s response is exactly what I would expect it to be - a double standard.

As much as I hate Bill O’Reilly, he is right here. Ramos is a joke of a journalist. He is an advocate for illegal immigration. He can’t be a journalist and also an advocate for a position. He violates every journalistic creed, and is no better than O’Lie-ly.

As if O’Reilly is not an activist. But of the worst kind. .

Dear God this is painful. O’Reilly lecturing on journalism is like watching Sarah Palin trying to explain Organic Chemistry.

So BILLO admitted he isn’t a journalist but a commentator

To Billo being an activist is a crime.
But being a “commentator” isn’t
edit:
I’m glad somebody at TPM watches Billo so I don’t have to.

“You’re an activist.”
“And you, sir, are a propagandist masquerading as a commentator at a cable station that purports to be about news.”

O’Reilly: “You’re an activist.”
Ramos: “You’re an idiot.”
Both right.

The next time O’Reilly puts together a rational, cogent, lucid argument, will be the first time. He is doing what The Goebbels Network (I think they call themselves Fox News) does perfectly. He keys on one horrible situation, like the awful murder of that beautiful woman, and makes it the poster child for why it’s ALL bad. He completely ignores the other 98 percent that come to the country, like Mr. Ramos, and contribute something positive to society. And, he does that really annoying thing that dumb people do when they argue/debate. He ties them to some outrageous false point of view, in a false continuum, if they don’t believe something else. I’m referring to, it plays at the 3:17 mark, “Jorge, you not supporting Kate’s law means that you don’t care!” These fucking propagandists…I support the 1st amendment with every inch of me, but there is a small part of me…a very small part of me, that actually I’m uncomfortable with, that wishes someone would pass a mandate that they have to remove “News” from their title. It should be The Fox Dumb Hateful Assholes network.
Could someone please explain to me why anyone outside the rightwing noise machine goes on Fox News? Seriously, what’s the point? Do you think you’re going to be treated fairly? You won’t be. Do you think you’ll convince the audience to see your point of view? They watch Fox to have theirs views reinforced, not challenged.
For the life of me, I don’t understand why any Democrat or progressive - or anyone with an enlightened outlook - willingly makes themselves cannon fodder for the ridiculous Fox.
PS: Did anyone see Rachel Maddow’s interview with Rick Santorum? It was civil and respectful but challenging, the very model of how to interview someone with an entirely different political viewpoint. The contrast with Fox could not have been greater.
