Does Fox News now have an All-Amnesty lineup? Looks like it. Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly have now fallen in line behind World Citizen Rupert Murdoch’s support of ”sweeping, generous immigration reform,” including a “path to citizenship.” Karl Rove was always on board, of course.
What about Fox News’ viewers? Are they going to go along like sheep? They now have no network that represents their perspective on what seems to be a key issue for Obama’s second term. Is it time for a new Fox? (Wouldn’t it be time for a new Fox anyway? That lineup has been stale for years.) …
P.S.: Is there any other issue in American politics where the media’s coverage is so one-sided? Even non-PC newspapers are eager to expand Latino readership–they’ve been in a GOP-like panic about not offending Latinos for years. (When was the last time an L.A. Times editor sent a reporter to interview construction workers who’d permanently lost their middle class jobs to cheaper undocumented labor?) Public radio stations get grants to broadcast “Latino” content, often drearily didactic and inevitably pro-amnesty. Now even the opposition isn’t in opposition. I look forward to vigorous ”balanced” debates between pro-amnesty Democrats and pro-amnesty Marco Rubio throughout the spring...

This could make one wonder who in this country, other than the Democrat Party, could possibly profit from more low information voters within their constituency.
I’m sure there are better explanations. It was the most popular explanation when I did a search.
I then "BINGed" up foreign aid to Mexico. As of July 2011 it was only $757.7 million, making Mexico the eighth largest recipient of uncle's generousity with OUR money.
We reduced our cable bill and got rid of a lot of the stuff we don’t watch..including Fox. We are reviewing the situation of going antenna and just one internet connections.
I haven’t paid attention much to Rubio’s plan, but your outline meets my standards. The simple fact is that there is a need to act on this issue. Ignoring it is making the situation worse. Mass deportation is physically unlikely and politically impossible.
As long as those here today don’t get any preference over others going through the process, providing a temporary work visa and having them get in the back of the line for the same immigration process as everyone else, I have absolutely no problem with that. In fact, it is a reasonable solution. Yes, those here illegally broke the law, but we allowed easy access and our system encouraged it for decades. Now, we have to find a practical solution.
I do agree with others. This has to be tied to a real solution to protecting the border...a combination of walls and high tech security.
Fox News is history as far as fair and balanced goes. Juan Williams, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Kristol, and even Brit Hume is now drinking the kool-aid. Sean Hannity is being watered down, O’Reilly is a bore. FNN is a waste of time.
I’m no statistical wizard but everytime I read that a “majority” of people feel a certain way or a book is a “best seller” or a certain TV show is “popular”, I remember that the population of the US is approximately
350 million people, give or take, and measure the returns against that stat.
So when I see O’Reilly pulls in just over a million viewers and is LEADING the TV pack, I think a lot of people have tuned out the “media”...
that could be a good thing or a bad thing.
Judge Napolitano is still with Fox News.
I think Judge Napolitano is still around, but perhaps not as often as he once was. I saw him on F&F a few weeks back.
It’s possible to be in favor of a Constitutional, legal, open immigration policy and still be a conservative. Indeed, many libertarian economists—whose adherence to limited government and free enterprise is beyond question—argue that open immigration is the best and most small-government option.
That having been said, we should, as Milton Friedman said, make it impossible for immigrants to receive welfare.
I am for amnesty.
I wouldn’t put illegals in jail, I would forgive them, and then send them back to where they legally reside.
No sense cluttering up our prisons and paying for their room and board.

I am not a TV watching person, but just turned it on to Fox and they announced he is coming up with an opinion.
I heard he was gone, but guess he is back for the third time..... He was fired 2x prior.
Almost immediately after the Nov 2012 election, Sean Hannity declared his thinking on immigration had “evolved.” It was pretty obvious that Fox management expected all their on-air talent to get with the pro-illegal program. We have a Fox-free zone now.
The crucial difference between then and now being in those days whites were a People not a mere demographic and Ike was backed by the electorate. We were great in those days having just won the war. As a great people we were capable of exclusion as all great people are exclusive. The Mexican was afraid of us as he knew we were capable of forcibly removing him. As a mere demographic interests have changed the "Third World" are "jes folks tryin to make a buck." Eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels, snoring and the games are to days interests. The Mexican is no longer afraid of us as he has seen we have no will, no sense of unity. Americans no longer move as one hence we are prey and the Third World wolves are circling.
According to Jones at youtube link above there were 3 reasons why Napolitano was fired from his sucessful show on Fox Business (with others of his ilk to follow shortly):
1. Political preasure aka blackmail from the WHut and Soros - Fox is now spinning out of control.
2. His videos on youtube were too sucessful. Fox Business could not compete.
3. Claimed that 9/11 was a fruad omn the Jones Show. He said the official story was a government lie according to 6 of the nine Commisioners on 911. Soros called for his firing in letters to Fox.
Amazing observation! Personally, I haven’t watched FAUX News for over 2 years.
Brit Hume (once a vocal critic of Clinto) has been drinking KoolAide since his son died during the early Clinton years. Brit changed his tune right quickly - now he was, then he wasn’t. Very startling.
Same here. Have not been able to watch FNC since last November. Just cannot take it. BOR is Ted Baxter on steroids. Shep Smith should be on MSNBS. Bob Beckel and Juan Williams are insufferable and obnoxious. Would rather watch Andrew Zimmern eating bugs, or Anthony Bourdain dispatching a pig on the Travel Channel, or Bobo squatching on Anmimal planet, but my favorite these days is The Military Channel, especially enjoy the shows on WWII tank battles.
“Judge Napolitano is still with Fox News.”
But his sucessfull Fox Business show was canceled - that is the issue.
