Why would Fox News cover a story differently from Fox Latino?

Simple: Profit Trump's Ideology.

I'm reminded of a speech given by Arthur Jensen, Ned Beatty's character in the movie Network, lecturing his employee (an anchor man) on what is important:

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West! There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multi-variate, multi-national dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, Reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today.

...You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen, and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and A T & T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

(You can watch the entire speech on Youtube). It helps to imagine Rupert Murdock giving the speech to Bill O'Reilly.

Why does a network like FOX, whose pundits continually decry the decay of American Culture, put on shows like Pamela Anderson's Stacked or Married with Children? Profit.
