Jorge Ramos Essay

Improved Essays
Ever since President Donald Trump took his stance on immigration during his campaign, Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos has converted himself from being a journalist into an activist.

No matter how you feel towards an issue or however you feel towards a person, your work as a journalist must be objective and truthful. There is no justification in mixing your personal intentions with your profession, especially if you are a journalist.

So no, Jorge Ramos you are not a journalist, you are an
