Jorge Ramos is Smart

I was pretending to read at home yesterday after trying sushi for the 1st time when I got a call from my mom:

Mom: Mijo, are you going to the debate tomorrow?

Me: No ma, I didn't get tickets.

Mom: Why didn't you? You know it's a big debate.

Me: I know, but they weren't selling them. I did sign up to get some but I didn't.

Mom: Well, you're gonna miss it, Jorge Ramos is going to be there.

Apparently, my mom (an HRC supporter) is also very excited about seeing Jorge Ramos, this Spanish news genious. As am I. Jorge Ramos is articulate and intelingent and I think a great reporter in general.

"'Some folks consider him the Walter Cronkite of network news because of the many years in his work, the serious dedication to having a balanced representation of news,' said Federico Subervi, a professor of journalism and mass communication at Texas State University-San Marcos."

"Ramos's distinguished career includes 12 years as anchor for Noticiero Univision, eight Emmys for excellence in journalism and he has covered five wars as anchor. He also writes a weekly column for 40 publications, including The New York Times syndicate, and contributes to Radio Univision.

Ramos has also published seven books, out of which four have been published in English. Subervi points to one of Ramos' published works, The Latino Wave: How Hispanics Will Elect the Next American President, as addressing the issue of the Hispanic community's impact on the political process that is now being pushed into mainstream America."

I don't think this article does him justice, but it deffinitely shows how impressive his resume is. Being placed on this panel shows the importance of the Latino/Latina community in this election and the ones to come.

I know they only come to the nopal cuando tiene tunas (Only come to the cactus when it has fruit) but hopefully they will start noticing that the Hispanic, Latino, etc. community is a force to watch.

GREAT JOB AND GOOD LUCK JORGE RAMOS!!!
