A study by the National Hispanic Media Coalition found that people who watch Fox News share more anti-immigrant and anti-Latino views. Seventy percent of Fox viewers have an unfavorable view of “illegal alien,” more than NPR, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, or talk radio.
The study also found that Fox viewers believe that Latinos are on welfare (56%), have too many children (42%), and take jobs from Americans (43%).
Last year, Media Matters found that anti-immigrant guests outnumbered pro-immigrant guests by a 3-1 margin on Fox “News.”
Is Fox anti-immigrant? NHMC reports, you decide.

I wonder what’s the FoxNoise viewers’ opinion of GOPers advertising en español? Or, better yet, the RNCers who actually spoke AT the convention en español? I mean, it was a bit odd that the RNC would allow anyone to speak en español, considering the Republican platform advocates an “English-only” policy.
Of course, the FoxNoise viewers probably didn’t have a problem with this since they’ve grown accustomed to their politicians saying one thing and doing the opposite, all in the name of getting elected. As long as the GOPers hold fast to their “English-only” platform by bringing up stupid, waste-of-time legislation for “English-only,” they’ll let the politicians speak en español at the conventions and in the TV and radio ads all they want.

Is this really news Brian? How much did this study cost? All to find out that Fox viewers share the same extreme Xenophobic hatred toward “unpure” Americans, especially the shorter brown folks, that Slanthead does.
Are they going to more surveys to find out how these low-information trailer residents feel about gays? About women? About intellectuals? About liberal American Jews? About blacks?
