Local Fox News in Los Angeles, Channel 11, had an incredible exchange in a segment with John and Ken. J & K were chastizing the press for not showing the other side about all the costs of illegal aliens.
There was a difference of opinion between FOX personnel and John and Ken about the effect of the boycott.
And then there was an amazing statement, actually a monologue for news reporter Tony Valdez. Rather than posing a question to John and Ken, he launched into the whole Reconquista argument, talking about Manifest Destiny and U.S. invasion of Mexico in 1846. He talked about how this country took this part of the world by force and how they do that in Iraq and Iran.
And then this news reporter, news reporter mind you, said, "You took this country. You killed people to take this country for yourselves."
Fox 11 needs to hear from us.
doug from upland or some other LA freeper knows this...
but I think you're refering to an advert from one of the total-Spanish-language
stations in LA.
I can't remember which one it was, but I don't think it was even the
big-time Univision or Telefutura station.
Thanks for the ping! I replied in #155.
The Los Angeles Mexico billboard was for a spanish speaking station. Not FoxTV. I do not know who owns that particular spanish staion. Some US networks (NBC for ex.) own spanish stations around the country.
The shoe would fit much different for Vincent Fox if it were placed on the other foot. Place demands on his land, and his laws, demand open protests in his streets. He would not take kindly to such demands. What's good for the goose..
IN this case the more civilized won...Tony - you should be thankful the Aztec heart eaters didn't win..or even the Spaniards...look at the major messes in South America.
I don't see Mexicans going to Panama or Venezuela or Argentina...huh Tony?
There are colonials and then there are colonials.
Of course, he only told his Reconquista position.
Well he certainly wasn't politically correct today! Another one outed -- Millions to go.
Now Tony STFU!!!
programming@fox11.com is where I sent my complaint about Tony Valdez. He should be broadcasting in Mexico.
IMHO - This is what we ought to do with Baja. Combine it with San Diego County and all the way up to Orange County and San Bernadino County. Call the new State 'Baja California'. Would be dominated with most of the conservatives within California who have not gotten representation in years from Sacramento. The coastal communities from Los Angeles to the northern border have owned Sacramento for years anyway.

I sent this email
I think the newscasters only read the stories on the wires and do not venture out into the real world. The Boycott did not have any effect on myself or any of my co-workers in the Downtown Business District. Everyone was at work. We ate at our usual Restaurants. Some of the "Hispanic restaurants" closed at 2. But that is it. When I got home in the San Gabriel Valley I went to the mall. It was busy. Please let me know who I can thank for the great drive in this morning and this afternoon. It was great. Also. The jobs no one will do? Sorry, many of us have tried and have been turned away because we were not Spanish speaking. Tony Valdez should not be on unbiased news shows. I was shocked at what he said today. I will not listen to your news program on the way home
On the bright side, this Valdez guy has blown another big hole in the baloney that these illegals are "just good hearted people who want to work." Nothing like someone in a high visibility position pulling his mask off for the people.
When can the war with Mexico start? Do we need the wall first? They already have an army of 20+ million right amongst us.
yw. I'd like to hear him say this, too, for myself.
Huh? The PC crowd would love what he said! Revisionist history is the heart and soul of political correctness.
His remarks do not appeal to the politically INcorrect, like ourselves.
The Hispanic condo maintenance foreman came by and said not to venture down into the Hispanic neighborhoods today.
I took him at his word.
