Roger Ailes Hopes To Grow Latino Audience For Fox News


Posted: 02/11/2013 12:52 am EST | Updated: 02/11/2013 7:12 am EST



Just as Republicans are soul-searching following the decisive electoral defeat in November that highlighted the country’s shifting demographics, Fox News, the party’s preferred cable news network, is looking inward amid record declines in ratings and credibility.








On Thursday, Politico’s Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei described both the party and network as "moving to purge the controversial political creatures they created." So far, Fox News has opted not to renew the contracts of commentators Dick Morris or Sarah Palin, while bringing over from CNN Erick Erickson, editor of RedState and a prominent voice among grassroots conservatives.

But aside from swapping on-air political analysts, how does Fox News –- which hitched its wagon to Glenn Beck and the Tea Party at the beginning of President Obama’s first term -- deal with the president's second-term agenda?

For starters, Fox News chief Roger Ailes appears to be trying to change perceptions that his network is hostile toward undocumented immigrants and hopes to increasingly draw Latino viewers, a key voting bloc that swung overwhelming toward Obama in November.

“The fact is, we have a lot -- Republicans have a lot more opportunity for [Latinos],” Ailes told The New Republic’s Eliza Gray, in an article published in the magazine's latest issue and appearing online Monday. “If I’m going to risk my life to run over the fence to get into America, I want to win. I think Fox News will articulate that.”

Ailes also told Gray that “the contributions being made by Latinos are extraordinary, and we need to talk about them,” while suggesting the “Latino audience is an essentially traditional audience and will go to Fox News for traditional American values." And then there’s the term “illegal immigration,” which Ailes, a former adviser to three Republican presidents, thinks the party should veer away from:

“I think the word 'illegal immigration' is a false name,” he continues. “You are talking about two separate issues. One is sovereignty. ... The media trying to make America feel guilty because we want borders—that, to me, is complete bullshit. Immigration is a separate issue. ... 
We should all defend sovereignty, then take a Judeo-Christian approach to immigration. I don’t have any problem with a path to citizenship.”


Gray points out that Ailes may still need to convince some of his biggest stars that describing people as “illegal aliens” or “illegals” when covering the immigration debate could be a hindrance to drawing Latino viewers.

While Sean Hannity famously shifted his position on immigration less than 48 hours after Mitt Romney's defeat, the primetime host told Gray: “I’ve used 'illegals' all these years I’ve been on TV. ... I don’t see it as an offensive term.”

Meanwhile, the network's Fox News Latino and and Fox Nation websites sometimes frame the same immigration article in completely different ways, showing that there's work to do before everyone's on the same page.

Absolutely....gotta keep "Juan" Williams and Geraldo Rivera fed up.


Rubio might even show up.

Who's NBC have in their latino line-up?


Fox already has a couple of Latino stations...does MSNBC?

Geraldo: My Senate candidacy would bring ‘new vitalization’ to GOP

By: Stephen C. Webster


Fox News’s mustachioed menace may be taking his show on the road to Washington, D.C. — that is, if the voters of New Jersey will have him.

Appearing Friday morning at his regular perch on “Fox & Friends,” the longtime conservative talk host followed up on the surprise announcement he made on his radio show Thursday, saying that if he decides to run for the Senate, he would aim to bring about a “new vitalization” in the Republican Party.

“I really do believe, as a modern Republican, that there is a point of view that is unrepresented in states like New Jersey,” he insisted. “There can be a new vitalization of the Republican Party – a concept where we extol the virtues of good business and fiscal policy, and we fight the deficit, and we don’t advocate the printing of money in obscene amounts just to cover the debt.”

After assuring co-hosts that he “very well may” run for Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s (D-NJ) seat, which Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker (D) also has his eyes on, Geraldo revealed what may be key to his platform.


“I believe in immigration reform,” he said. “I believe in gay rights and gay marriage. I believe in choice — not obscenely, but I believe in Roe v. Wade. So, you have to take my fiscal positions on being a Republican who believes that we have to bail out future generations rather than indebt future generations with these social policies that aren’t in sync with much of traditional GOP policies, at least in recent years.”

Geraldo will revitalize the R Party..... Maybe he will become the new Hannity and O'Reilly for the new FOX news since he now supports everything FOX needs to support to get viewers and the R party needs to get voters ..... :wink:

'Ol "Jerry Rivers the half Puerto Rican Jew disguised as a Latino. What's phony about that? :lol:

:lol2:

Let’s go down the list of his positions on some-hot button issues. First, he voted for President Obama in 2012, according to his Fox News Latino essay. That’s going to be a problem right up front.


He’s (mostly) pro-abortion, as well as pro-gay marriage and pro-immigration reform. Also, he wants to normalize relations with Cuba and Venezuela. None of those are things that made their way into the 2012 Republican platform.

But we see what Rivera is thinking here. It doesn’t matter whether he voted for Obama or not in a state that went for Obama by a big margin. New Jersey will not elect a Republican who could pass muster with the House GOP caucus. They will vote – and have – for somebody like Chris Christie. So Rivera’s main hope is to attach himself to Governor Christie’s hip.
