Fox News Launches FoxNewsLatino.com Weeks Before The Election

» 43 comments

Fox News launched their new web site, FoxNewsLatino.com, today, just weeks before a midterm election.

The site, mostly in English, is a mix of political and human interest stories so far, and will focus on “culturally relevant content built around the interests of Hispanic online users.”

The homepage on its launch day features a lead story about the Chilean miners and their families, as well as a health story about the ‘J. Lo shape’. There’s also a report on the negative reaction among Latinos to a new David Vitter ad, and a story called “La-Tea-Nos” (draw your own conclusions there).

“We’re trying to reach the second and third generations of U.S. Latinos,” managing editor Alberto Vourvoulias-Bush told the Miami Herald. “We’re aiming at Latinos whose first language is English, who inform themselves in English, who are deeply American, but share some of the cultural sensibilities of their parents or grandparents.”

In a release, FNC SVP Michael Clemente said, “The launch of FOX News Latino creates an unprecedented opportunity to expand our reach by engaging the fastest growing minority audience and providing a unique platform for compelling and original content focused on the Latino community and the American dream.”

This is the latest sub-site launched by Fox News, which also includes FoxNation.com and FoxNewsInsider.com (for the big fans of FNC). FoxNewsLatino.com looks the most like FoxNews.com in its design and layout.

    Why? All the news networks did this long ago. It’s a good thing FOX decided to join in. Finally.

  • Harry Flashman

    Royal King asks why the lefties will start squealing. Simple.

    It’s FOX. You know….FOX. Can’t have FOX conecting with Latinos the same way they’ve connected with the rest of the country, can we? OMG it’s FOX!!!!!! FOX may actually give Latino viewers something to watch besides the tongue bath the libs give Obama and his crew.

    FOXFOXFOXFOXFOX!!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

    Just a preview of the leftie meltdown to come.

    Heh.

    Steve:
    What’s the point of the headline? What does the new website have to do with the election? Do you always frame things in terms of time till the election? David Gregory fires his hair stylist…just days before the election! Keith Olbermann buys some new bubble bath…just days before the election! Chris Mathews buys some massaging oils…just days before the election!

    Ok, I am being silly. I know the point of the headline. Among you lefties, there’s a grand conspiracy theory surrounding all things FNC. If FNC unveils a new website…it must have something to do with the election. Ugh. Tiresome.

    Fox News…who spends most of their time hating on latinos, attacking them in every single possible way – launches a Latino website. Genius!

    There is this sort of pathological split personality with the overall News Corp./FOX operation, isn’t there?

    Basically true.

    That’s pretty silly.

  • Harry Flashman

    Three comments in a row that say Fox hates Latinos with King piling on to cheerlead. Interesting. As an intellectual exercise, how about illustrating that accusation with any sort of fact. And, “because I said so” doesn’t count.

    I think the “coverage” of the Arizona “Papieren, Bitte” law, in its totality, speaks to that adequately.

  • Harry Flashman

    Why? Because they gave the truth about the bill? There were no “Papers, please,” provisions in it. That’s a leftie canard that drives their talking points. A criminal suspect could be asked for his citizen status after aprehension for a crime, just the way the feds and numerous other jurisdictions do it now.

    But let’s not let facts get in our way, shall we?

    That one doesn’t work. Besides, Fox HATES Latinos because the coverage of this one issue isn’t what you wanted? PUH-LEEZE. To paraphrase some else who took a Demo talking parrot to task this week – is that all you got?

  • zumpano

    Better late than never.

    The story says you have to enter in your Social Security Number in order to access the site.

    Are you implying that all Latin people are illegals? Because if you are not than your argument is pretty much over.

    Get away, Fool. We already have one Court telling us the law is unConstitutional as written and as applied because it might well result in unlawful detentions of US citizens. If you don’t have anything meaningful to say go over to the Koldys’ PHOX Phan Klub.

    You would already have to be committing a crime for anything to even happen. Here is a logical thought, dont commit a crime and its a non issue. If I were caught committing a crime I would have to show my identification, why are they any different?

    I assume you think being anti-illegal immigration is the same as being anti-latino?

    Again, they don’t show any of that either, despite the fact that they’re based in Youngstown, ohio. They only time that they do is when somebody gets killed or goes to jail.

    Exactly my point. That is like half of each newscast.

    If the European immigrants are coming illegally I have a problem with them as well. Illegal being the key word that applies to anybody regardless where they are from.

    Mexico is very strict on people trying to sneak across their border from Central America. Obviously the Mexicans are very bigoted and hateful.

  • NORBIT

    To ALL GOP Candidates:

    1) BOYCOTT THE DEMOCRATIC MEDIA!!

    We don’t need the Progressive Propaganda Machine anymore!!!
    —————————————————————————————-

    2) EXPOSE PROGRESSIVES AS THE TRUE “GROUP-IDENTITY” RACISTS IN AMERICA!

    Do you all know that the Race-Baiter-In-Chief called on all Blacks to come out and vote!? (Can you imagine the Democratic Media’s reaction if Bush called on all Whites!!).

    Time to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

    Appealing strictly to the ignorant, the uneducated, the uncultured, the free-loaders.

    I think Fox News is going to get educated with Latinos. They are not stupid. They are a close-knit, family oriented, hard working and sincere group of people. I worked with them thirty five years. They can read between the lines and ignore News advertisement filled with bull crap. They will still vote Democratic, it’s in their blood. They know what side their bread is buttered on. They also don’t like working for nothing.

  • http://libertyinprogressnow.wordpress.com/ ProgLib

    At the pace Fox News smears and slanders Latinos, this site is bound to be a massive flop. I can’t wait to see it blow up right in their face and be the big failure that Fox Business is. By the way, how do they expect to attract Latinos when all they do is complain about “illegals” and supporting the AZ immigration law? I’m sure even the Latinos who are legal have illegal friends and family members, so there is no way anybody like that would go on the site and actually trust the coverage they give them. Epic fail.
