Ramos Likens Himself to Cronkite, Murrow, Woodward, and Bernstein

RAMOS: "I don’t think so. I think that, as a reporter, many times, you have to take a stand. When it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public life, dictatorship and human rights, we have — we have to take a stand. And the basic examples of journalism that I have — Edward R. Murrow against McCarthy; Cronkite during the Vietnam War; or “The Washington Post” reporters forcing the resignation of Richard Nixon, that’s when reporters challenge those who are in power. And I think it is our responsibility to do that. It is — I find it ironic and fascinating that I’m being criticized by other reporters for asking questions. Isn’t that the essence, exactly, of what we do?"
