Thread: My email to Fox News about Fox News Latino

Dear Fox

I am Fox viewer, it is my primary source as far as cable news go.
I am a naturalized American of Greek and French Heritage.

Today I find out that Fox News has Launched on Oct 12 “Fox News Latinoâ€

Excellent work alamb!

Yes, good work! I only wish that someone would comment on this PC pronounciation of spanish names, as well. I hear more trilling, tongue rolling, and consonant swallowing on TV and radio than I care to listen to! I don't hear them trying to pronounce other foreign names the way they should be pronounced, why hispanic names? This is nauseating to me, I don't know what about anyone else. I have a very foreign sounding last name and very few people EVER try to pronounce it correctly, or even bother asking!

The media need to be made accountable. Why dont you email your own message to and spread teh message?

Ditto that!

My family has been in this country since 1634, and some before that (First Nations people). Other ancestors since the 1700's as well. ALL of my ancestors who spoke another language other than English, had to give up their mother tongue in order to succeed and come to where we are now. This meant integrating into the mainstream culture and language. Some were forced, but in the long run, success in this society was the end result.

Now it seems our government and now Fox News wants to coddle and accomodate a minority population who mainly refuses to assimilate, as millions of other legal immigrants before them has done. Why would Fox News initiate Fox News Latino? It would seem to rake in the Latino viewers. Why not Fox News Mi'kmaq, Fox News Acadian, Fox News German, Fox News Cherokee? Why should anything be divided among ethnicity in this nation? Aren't we supposed to have matured as a nation beyond ethnicity and race by now?

Fox News, I have admired and watched you for years, now the pandering to one ethnic group is making me nauseous. Please stop unless you plan to have a portion of your site devoted to news for each ethnic group in this nation.

All of you are from different ethnic groups, what we all have in common is America. You're all so smart and well spoken I thought you could share your views on race baiting,neo-cons,and such. I love listening to you guys, you're in it for America not the Benjamin's. Latino Americans are being lied to and swayed into thinking,"the more, the better" and this is effecting them as much as the rest of us. I still don't know what the hell a neo-con is? You guys all tell the truth that's what Latino's need, that's what America needs. I don't know if it would help or hurt, I just know you guys should be the ones who tell it."GO TELL IT, ON THE MOUNTAIN!"

stevetheroofer, Most Americans are, at this point, are of such diverse mixed groups, but does that really matter? No, it makes us interesting, but we are still all Americans (and dang proud of it), and this is what matters most, or should to all Americans. Your color, your ethnicity, your families culture should not matter when it comes to your loyalties.

We have politicians, and now the media, who are playing both ends to get more votes and more viewers, this is appalling. Playing into the race/ethnicity card in order to benefit.

Way to go! I'll write to ask them to offer Gaelic, and the Click language.

How come these spanish channels never have English subtitles for non-spanish speaking viewers? Perhaps they do and I just missed them since I do not watch much spanish television.
