Everything about Jorge Ramos totally explained
Jorge Ramos (born
March 16,
1958) is a
Mexican anchor of
Noticiero Univision, a Spanish-only television network.
Ramos joined
Univision in
1985. He has interviewed multiple world leaders including
Fidel Castro,
Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush,
Hugo Chávez and many others.
Ramos started working at a radio station in
Mexico City. However, he left his country (Mexico) when the biggest Mexican television network censored a report he'd made. Looking for a better job and a better life, he decided to immigrate to the
United States.
He came to the
United States with a student visa in
1983. The first job he took was waiting tables. Finally, in
1984, he received the opportunity to join an affiliate of
Univision in
Los Angeles. Two years later, he became the morning host for the show "Mundo Latino".
He became one of the youngest national anchormen in the history of American television at the age of 28, in November
1986. Since this happened, he's been called the "voice of the voiceless" for other immigrants such as himself.
Ramos attended the Ibero-American University in
México City where he majored in Communication. He then received his Master's degree in International Studies from the
University of Miami.
He works alongside
Univision colleagues
María Elena Salinas and
Enrique Gratas.
He is currently dating mexican actress Ana De La Reguera.
On
September 9,
2007, Ramos as a moderator to a democratic presidential debate on the Spanish-language television network Univision, cut off and refused to allow
Governor Bill Richardson to speak Spanish. Richardson expressed his disagreement and replied: "And I do want to say at this point that I was under the impression that in this debate Spanish was going to be permitted because I've always supported Univision all my career, but I'm disappointed today that 43 million Latinos in this country, for them not to hear one of their own speak Spanish -- (applause) -- is unfortunate," Richardson said. "In other words, Univision has promoted English only in this debate." Ramos by imposing the "English only" debate on a Spanish-language TV network was seen as being very rude, offensive and disrespectful to the entire Hispanic community. Ramos has never apologized.
On
February 21,
2008, he represented Univision in a Democratic debate between Senators
Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama on the
University of Texas at Austin campus.
The
February 23,
2008 telecast of "Saturday Night Live" featured Will Forte impersonating Jorge Ramos in a Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama debate sketch.
