A real war on the press

In Venezuela leftist Univision anchor Jorge Ramos had his equipment seized and he and his colleges were detained in the middle of an interview with the socialist dictator of Venezuela.

Now that's waging a war on the press. While Ramos and his people were eventually released that's a far cry from what Ramos has condemned Trump for.  When, back in 2015, Ramos asked a question without having been called on at a Trump presser and when he refused to sit down and let someone who Trump had called on ask a question security removed him.  He concluded that he's "unmasked" candidate Trump.  He complained that he should have been allowed to ask questions even when not called on.  He said that Trump was afraid of his questions even though at Trump's direction Ramos was allowed back into the room and had the chance to ask Trump questions.  Even after that though Ramos attacked Trump.

It'll be interesting to see what Ramos says about being detained, not merely removed from a private event, and having had his equipment confiscated. Will he condemn Maduro as quickly and as strongly as he condemned Trump?

Don't hold your breath.  I hope I'm wrong but the hatred of people like Ramos, leftists not Mexicans, for Trump is far stronger than their slight public dislike of socialist dictators like Maduro. People can be starving and without medical care and the government can burn aid shipments in a socialist country and leftist will defend the situation but if Trump says that some illegals are criminals the entire left will unite and call him a racist.
