Jorge Ramos has come up trumps against Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, showing some true Latino fighting spirit against the anchor. The rising Univision star appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" Friday night, discussing the role of the press in the United States. He spoke openly about the lack of unbiased reporting and investigative journalism in American media, and even went so far as to attack O'Reilly himself, accusing him of being biased and avoiding hard topics.
"Our mission," Jorge Ramos said, "is to question those who are in power. And I'm not seeing that." When he takes trips to Washington, he continued, "it feels like a club. They're more concerned about keeping their contacts, than... getting the truth." O'Reilly countered that there were exceptions to this rule, to which Ramos responded, "Of course there are exceptions. But we all have biases. You have your own biases, whenever you're covering Obamacare, or Benghazi, or supporting more the Republican party than the Democratic party ... "
Bill O'Reilly then interjected saying "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," O'Reilly interjected. "Have you ever seen me do a softball interview with anybody?" Ramos then sparred back by saying "I've seen you doing tough interviews, but I've seen you also supporting more Republicans than Democrats," Ramos said. "Maybe editorially, but never in an interview," O'Reilly responded. Later in the interview, the two talked immigration reform and again the claws came out with O'Reilly touting the GOP platform and Ramos taking Boehner to test.
