Fox Nation and Fox News Latino are once again selling different versions of the same story to pander to conservative audiences while simultaneously attempting to court Latino readers.

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the Obama administration announced Wednesday that it would create an easier process for undocumented immigrants who are relatives of American citizens to apply for permanent residency in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security, which issued the new rule, hopes to reduce the amount of time families spend apart while relatives seek to obtain legal status. The change is set to take effect March 4, and approved applicants will be required to return to their native country to retrieve their visas.

Fox News Latino reported the story with the headline, "US Eases Path to Legalization for Some Immigrants, Keeps Families Together," accompanied by a photo of individuals at a rally for immigration reform:



The anti-immigrant Fox Nation, on the other hand, posted the Los Angeles Times article with the headline "Obama Begins Amnesty Push" and the following photo:



If the photo looks familiar, it's because Fox Nation used the same one in a June story attacking the Obama administration's decision to halt deportations of undocumented children.

Fox News Latino has received sharp criticism from Latino leaders who argue that the site lacks credibility, given that it seeks to attract and profit from Latino readers while its parent network and partner websites demonize immigrants.

This dichotomy persists even as Fox News hosts abruptly softened their anti-immigrant positions after the November 6 election, in which Latino voters heavily favored President Obama over Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

The anti-immigrant Fox Nation...

Well, that's about all anyone with any significant degree of intelligence has to see to get a handle on Kevin's credibility.

You keep descending, at an ever increasing rate to ever greater depths, Kevin. Please, please get a grip before its too late and begin to have some second thoughts.

Yawn
ever heard of the notion that FOX simply likes to make money?

Oh, well that makes it ok then.

Sr. Graham,
Falando de latina "foxxy".......

What became of your post a while back where your wife was asking you to return to church or participate in some kind of worship community?

Sorry to derail.

That's how the delusional Right Wing mind works. They pretend to care about virtues, morals and integrity, but at the end of the day virtue is all about making a buck. Subgenius seems to be completely oblivious to my point. Fox News is not a legitimate News station. It is a propaganda station, which treats real news as a nuisance. He thinks it is just putting profit above truth, but in reality it is putting Right Wing dogma above truth, and its willingness to be openly duplicitous in this way reinforces so many of the things I have said about this outlet. It is part of the Conservative media racket.

Thanks for illustrating the morally bankrupt nature of the Conservative mind.

Yes, most of us do, and the principles and policies we support and uphold have, for the last half century, reflected that. This is in stark contrast to the Left, who's primary center of motivation is power, and power in as centralized and unaccountable a manner as possible (all the way to totalitarian control of human life).

After all the pseudo-moral posturing, breast-beating, and wails of moral indignation over the plight of the abstract theoretical category called "the poor," the Left uses as mascots and moral cover for their endless quest for pervasive control over all aspects of individual private, human life, the worship of power is all that really lies at the bottom of the well.

This is also why, historically, the Left has lurched, depending on the issue, between dogmatic moralism and dogmatic moral relativism. As contradictory as they seem at first glance, they are both two sides of the same political coin.

talk about delusional...geez
you seriously consider Fox to be the unique news source....that all the other specific media outlets, that coincidentally agree with your opinion (um...strike "agree" and remit "form"), are free from propaganda, free from making a buck, free from "pretending"?

FYI, i seldom pay attention to Fox news, it is not a preferred outlet for my tastes...nevertheless, they "know their audience" just as Rachel Maddow knows hers...just as the White House knows theirs - exactly what Disney movie are deriving your rather romantic idea of how the News is? Let me guess, some article you read somewhere?
Your posts have been as consistently as robotic, hate mongering, and wrought with propaganda as any Rush Limbaugh broadcast....you just peddle a different flavor of numb than others.

Then give us a link showing Rachel Maddow giving a story from two opposite viewpoints in order to pander to an audience.
