Jorge Ramos Schools Bill O'Reilly: On Human Rights, 'You Have To Take A Stand'

[Commentary] Despite his lucrative career as a political commentator, Bill O’Reilly thinks Fusion host Jorge Ramos should play the impartial journalist when it comes to Donald Trump’s proposal to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants. On “The O’Reilly Factor”, the Fox host asked Ramos, "How can you possibly cover immigration fairly when you're a proponent of allowing them amnesty?" "You should excuse yourself from it or recuse yourself from it," he added.

While it is indeed a reporter’s job to be truthful and fair, Ramos told O'Reilly that it’s unethical to sit idly by in the face of injustice. “Sometimes, as a reporter, you have to take a stand when it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public lies, dictatorships and human rights,” he shot back. “What Donald Trump is doing is very dangerous. He’s proposing the largest mass deportation in recent history. And who’s going to challenge him?” “That’s our job as reporters,” Ramos added
