This Is How Fox News Uses Graphics To Convey Their Racist Message

Following a week of tragic shootings in Washington state and California Fox News set their editorial priorities to locating a angle with which they could light a fire under their dimwitted audience. Fortunately for Fox, the rancid bigotry that is a standard feature of their news reporting neatly satisfied that requirement.

On their community website and Fib Factory Fox Nation, They posted a headline article that they pulled from the ultra-rightist fringe site Daily Caller (which not coincidentally is run by Fox News host Tucker Carlson). The article declared that the “Man Accused Of Killing Two CA Deputies Was In Country Illegally, Deported Twice.”

The obvious problem with the posting by the Fox Nationalists is the content of the photo that they chose to accompany the article. The picture was taken at a rally to support undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children and know only this country as their home. They are referred to as “Dreamers” for their desire to become citizens of the country they love.

So what do these hopeful wannabe-citizens have to do with a murderous cop killer? Nothing beyond the color of their skin and their national heritage. Fox could have chosen to post a picture of the suspect, or a picture of the victims, or a picture from the crime scene. But instead they decided that a picture of a peaceful rally attended by law-abiding marchers was somehow an appropriate graphic accompaniment to a murder story that had nothing to do with the rally.

Clearly Fox is trying to connect the cop killer to every other Latino in America. The starkly incongruous juxtaposition of the rally photo to the murder story can be illustrated by imagining how Fox might have reported a couple of other recent stories that involved cop killers who were born and raised right here in the U.S. of A.

Of course Fox never bothered to identify the white, right-wing, radicals who were previously reported to have murdered police officers as being from the U.S. Apparently nationality is only a material issue in the Fox newsroom if the suspects are foreigners. This is the means by which Fox promotes their racist agenda and leads their ignorant audience to believe that only dark-skinned aliens engage in such horrendous activities.

Still, the worst part of this visual communication is its attempt to associate peaceful, law-abiding people with savagery and lawlessness. It is unprofessional, unethical, unmistakably racist, and unsurprisingly business as usual at Fox News.

  1. “…unmistakably racist business at Fox News…”

    You continue to lie non-stop.

    • And you continue to pour out your hate with no corroboration.

      Big surprise.

  2. Excellent post and right on the money. Reminds me of the Palm trees in Wisconsin during winter storm on the Hannity show. And thanks to Scott for demonstrating how fox removes their viewers ability to understand and comprehend the reality that the rest of us can obviously see. He so often makes your point for you and doesn’t even know it.
