Bill O'Reilly Stunned When Jorge Ramos Calls Him Out For GOP Bias

TOM KLUDT – MAY 31, 2014, 11:17 AM EDT

Jorge Ramos offered a blunt and critical assessment of the American press this week. but Bill O'Reilly wanted to make sure the popular Spanish-language broadcaster wasn't talking about him.

During an appearance on the "O'Reilly Factor" on Friday, Ramos expanded upon the comments he made in an interview this week with Politico. He told O'Reilly that many journalists are more concerned about maintaing friendly relations with their sources and complained that Washington, D.C. "feels like a club."

But surely Ramos recognized there are exceptions to the rule, asked a smirking O'Reilly. The Fox News pundit did not like the answer he received.

"Of course there are exceptions, but we all have biases," Ramos said. "You have your own biases. I mean, whenever you're covering Obamacare or Benghazi or supporting the Republican Party more [than] the Democratic Party."
