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.
