Tell Rupert Murdoch to Stop Anti-Immigrant Lies on Fox News
The Issue
Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch has come out in support of a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants and comprehensive immigration reform.
However, you'd never know it looking at the rhetoric on that network.
Anchors use the dehumanizing slur "illegals" to refer to undocumented immigrants, whom they characterize as invaders and criminals. Bill O'Reilly fear mongers about a foreign "invasion," while Glenn Beck makes up an "illegal alien crime wave."
Undocumented immigrant are further represented as a drain on the economy and social services, despite many studies that demonstrate they pay taxes and improve the economy.
Tell Rupert Murdoch to do more than just speak up for immigrant rights -- tell him to take real action to promote "fair and balanced" reporting on his network.
