As Donald Trump and Jorge Ramos Clash, Latino News Media Airs Its Offense

The adversarial relationship between Donald Trump and the Spanish-language news media, which has simmered publicly since he announced his candidacy in June, boiled over on Aug 25 at a news conference in Dubuque (IA) when the candidate erupted at Jorge Ramos, the main news anchor at Univision and Fusion, when he tried to ask a question without being called on. Trump signaled to one of his security guards, who physically removed Ramos from the event. Ramos was eventually allowed to return. But for the Spanish-language press, which has grown in size and influence in politics, the tense exchange was a highly public flexing of muscle against a candidate who many outlets no longer pretend to cover objectively: They are offended by Trump’s words and tactics -- and they are showing it.
