Jorge Ramos Now 'Jose Ramos' - Variety

Variety Weekly saw fit to rename longtime Univision anchor, book author and newspaper columnist Jorge Ramos and call him "Jose Ramos" in a recent article. No accent on the e, either. Here it is:

Contempt for the tenor of the debate on immigration is a common thread in Univision's news coverage. Both "Noticiero Univision" co-anchors, Maria Elena Salinas and Jose Ramos, have debated CNN anchor Lou Dobbs on the issue of illegal immigrants.

"Jose Ramos" - I can't imagine Variety referring to Brian Williams as Bruce or to Larry King as Lenny. Someone would have caught that kind of mistake - a copyeditor, a section editor or the executive editor. But, I guess Variety doesn't have copyeditors, section editors or executive editors who watch the Univision newscast.

Full Disclosure - I write often for Multichannel News, which is published by the same company that owns Variety.

Variety is showing not only its ignorance but also its prejudice.
