There have been numerous incidents<\/a> where Fox News posted articles that were overtly derogatory toward Latinos, presenting them as criminal, drug-abusing, freeloaders. At the same time their web site aimed at this market would publish an article on the same subject that was fair and accurate. The clear intent on the part of Fox is to pander to Latinos on the site where they segregate them, and insult them to the rest of the Fox audience of bigots and nativists. It’s a practice handed down from the highest echelons of Fox News<\/a>. Yesterday Fox gave us another example of it:<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

The Fox News Latino web site topped their article with a descriptive and straightforward headline regarding the decision by the Associated Press to refrain from using the term “illegal immigrant.”<\/em>. The headline on Fox News, however, highlights a manufactured controversy that diverts from the actual news. The AP explained the new policy saying…<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stylebook no longer sanctions the term \u2018illegal immigrant\u2019 or the use of \u2018illegal\u2019 to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that \u2018illegal\u2019 should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rather than simply reporting that perfectly reasonable clarification, Fox set out to find objections to the policy and subsequently reported that…<\/p>\n

“The Associated Press is being accused of trying to influence the immigration debate following a decision to stop using the term “illegal immigrant” in its coverage — despite the fact it is still being used by U.S. government officials. […] [S]ome are wondering why the AP decided to nix the phrase when high-ranking government officials don\u2019t seem to have a problem with it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is unclear how changing the guidelines so that instead of saying “illegal immigrant”<\/em> authors say something like “entered the country illegally,”<\/em> will influence the immigration debate. But that isn’t the point. Because Fox is wedded to their bigotry (and that of their audience), they are insistent that terms regarded by the subjects as epithets be used unreservedly.<\/p>\n

What’s more, Fox employs the old “some say”<\/em> dodge to infer that the press ought to embrace the phrase because someone in government used it. So apparently Fox wants the press to parrot whatever people in the government say. That’s a peculiar stance considering they spend so much time faulting the press for parroting whatever people in the government say.<\/p>\n

So in this one incident Fox has affirmed their racial prejudices and demonstrated their trademark hypocrisy. Nice work, Fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
