Rupert Murdoch To Maxine Waters: ‘We Are Not Anti-Immigrant at Fox News’

News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch got into a bit of a row today with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). Murdoch was providing testimony over the need to ease immigration laws allowing skilled laborers in the U.S., but was confronted by Waters over what she thought to be unfair treatment of immigrants. Murdoch held his own, firing back “we are not anti-immigratnt at Fox News.” And that was just the beginning of what was a feisty exchange.

Murdoch was in D.C. alongside New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has formed a coalition of CEOs (which includes many titans of the media industry) via his Partnership for a New American Economy meant to help the plight of skilled laborers from outside of the U.S.

Maxine Waters got it started by reminding Mr. Murdoch about his ability to “frame issues” and “disseminate a lot of information” via his numerous media outlets, but seemed particularly vexed by Fox News. Waters went right to it, asking Mr. Murdoch”

“Why are you here with a basically a decent proposal taking about the advantage immigrants to our economy but I don’t see that being promoted on Fox. As a matter of fact, I’m often times stunned by what I hear on Fox, particularly when you have hosts talking about “Anchor Babies” and all of that. Explain to me, whats the difference in your being here and and what you do not do with your media networks?”

After adjusting a minor microphone reply, Murdoch replied “we handle all views on Fox. If you wish to come on and state these views we’d love to have you on Fox News,” to which Waters immediately declined.

After Bloomberg interceded on behalf of Murdoch, Waters got right back into the fray, reestablishing her point about the seeming contradiction between Murdoch’s “pro-immigrant” testimony, and what Waters saw as a very different point-of-view on Fox News. Murdoch seemed somewhat taken aback by the aggressive questioning — or perhaps he’s lost a intellectual step in his later years — but his best response was to say that he employs a number of immigrants at Fox. “We do not take a consistent anti-immigrant’ line.

There’s no way Murdoch would push that line of FOX, they’d lose too many viewers.

Rep. Maxine Waters needs to be explaining her racism.

“Why are you here with a basically a decent proposal taking about the advantage immigrants to our economy but I don’t see that being promoted on Fox.”

Wrong!

I have never heard FOX denigrate the contributions of immigrants. Waters is so benighted she can’t tell the difference between immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants.

oh clueless wonder, what did you think the hearing was about? It was about helping ease immigration laws…in other words, making it easier for immigrants to obtain a legal status.

There’s only one difference between what you like to call “illegal” immigrants (no human is illegal btw) and ones with legal status…a piece of paper.

FOX never talks about promoting a path to immigration, all they talk about is “OH NO! THE ANGRY MUSLIM MEXICANS WANT TO CREATE ANCHOR/TERROR BABIES TO DESTROY AMERICA AND START SHARIA LAW!!!”

and that’s fair and balanced?

Because she’s trying to discuss an over-arching editorial slant and FNC has a national reach, it could be a legitimate question, but to Murdoch, it may have sounded like she was asking Warren Buffett about the Buffalo News.

When Maxine attacks Fox for their supposed stance on immigration accusing them of bias, then how is this rep’s information of no relevance?

Maxine simply can’t understand how a person could own a news network and not mandate what gets said on it. This is why people like Maxine need to be kept away from the levers of power.

Fox is not anti-immigrant–Fox is pro-American. Ms. Waters is simply not used to seeing the pro-American viewpoint given in the mainstream media. For example, Fox focuses on the impact of illegal immigration on American citizens in Arizona and elsewhere, whereas the MSM focuses on the difficulties of the illegal immigrant.

BTW, Ms. Waters’ trial for corruption will be held next year.

Meanwhile, in more important news:

The US supremacy as the top world economy will end sooner than many people believe, so gold is a better investment than the dollar despite it hitting a new record, Tom Winnifrith, CEO at financial services firm Rivington Street Holdings, told CNBC.com Monday…

The US trade deficit and debt continue to grow and the authorities are reluctant to address the problem, preferring to print money, Winnifrith said.

“America is practically owned by China,” he said.

He reminded of the fact that in 1900, sterling was the world’s reserve currency but by 1948, that was no longer the case as the British Empire collapsed.

“America is doing what Britain did,” Winnifrith said. “America spends much more than it can afford and it’s not addressing the issue.”

In 1832, China and India were the world’s two largest economies and by 2032, they will regain that status, he predicted….

This uttely confuses someone like Maxine – the woman who openly expressed her desire for the gov’t to take over oil/gas companies. This is pure, raw leftist mentality on display.

The thing about that vid, is that those on the left have gone so bat-shit-crazy, they will watch it, look at you and ask “What was wrong with what she said?”

That’s why 10/02/2010 is occurring in DC- they want to tell America that there is nothing wrong with being a socialist country.

“I don’t see that promoted on Fox News — talking about anchor babies and all that,” Waters shot back.”

As if all rides are free.

It is easy to google the numbers on anchor babies, particularly in border states like Texas. What is $$ cost for delivering those thousands of babies, what is the overall cost in health care, what is the cost for free public education and what is the ultimate cost to our environment?

Democrats don’t care because for them there is one overarching benefit–Hispanic votes.
—
…A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That’s 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas

According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

It is the belief of the libs on this site. Whoever owns a media outlet approves every aspect of what goes on there according to them.

Why do they think this way? Because they have no idea how business works.

True! That’s why you need to look at a variety of sources for information to determine the bias that is endemic in the MSM. What is aggravating is when lib sources that support every lib cause say “but that doesn’t mean I’m a lib.”

It’s hypocritical and dishonest. Mediaite is like MSNBC. While it blames Fox News for presenting slanted news, Mediaite does that 1,000 times more because unlike Fox, it very rarely (if ever) presents the opposite viewpoint. It’s dishonest because Mediaite presents itself as a general media review site, but 95% of its articles are negative takes on Fox News, conservatives, and Republicans.

Still, the young leftist pups at Mediaite do amuse.

Colby, how very biased of you. To questions Murdoch’s mental acuity is very low here. Ms. Waters, on trial for ethics violations, seems to think that everyone shares her lack of morals and that Murdoch, as owner of Fox News should steer the narrative of his station’s coverage. Kind of like she is alleged to have steered favorable bank treatment for her friends.

LOGICandREASON

This lady probably doesn’t know the difference between FOX and MSNBC.

Apparently it is surprising to her that a news network does not preferentially promote it’s owner’s personal views on social and political issues. Murdoch should have simply told her that owning a news network doesn’t mean his personal opinions should be aired at all times; that is not what the “canons of journalism” or “code of ethics” in Journalism is all about.

Maxine should stick with MSNBC, ABC,CBS and CNN.

No- It has more to do with the stupidity of SpineCrusher’s posts.

First, please re-read. You said “of course, facts have a heavy liberal bias.” I said that “your statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.” It doesn’t. Fact is based on reality and truth. It is not based on “heavy bias.”

Your follow up – “the right goes with truthiness, the left sticks with the facts” – is even better. More bias from you, with a statement that cannot be supported by fact. Keep digging. I clicked on your link, it was to (I think) your own website, with a quote from the venerable (not) Jimmy Carter that read like something the Real Royal King would post here, and some “facts” from the unbiased folks at Media Matters. Good grief.

Patty – I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but you and the GOP are headed for extinction. The demographics in this country are changing and you won’t like it, but there is really nothing you can do about it.

I see this type of comment on here again and again, and it makes me laugh. Liberals bring up immigrants, minorities, youth, etc. and say that the GOP will soon be extinct. It’s a very old line. In 1965, the Senate split was 68 Dems to 32 Republicans, in the House it was 295 Dems to 140 Republicans. Enormous Democratic majorities. The same extinction line was being used back then.

It was used as recently as 2008. Newsweek, Time, etc. At least Newsweek was half right. They just didn’t realize they were talking about themselves.

You’ll have some short term successes but long term I’m afraid you and the other tea-baggers may have to find your place in Beck-town. I think you can probably get your tickets in advance from Becks website.

Speaking as a member of the millenial generation, I think you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I feel there could be a backlash against the hippy bullcrap we’ve been taught growing up. Everyone gets a trophy? Not in the real world. It’s the realization of how the real world operates that pushes people to conservativism, especially in the fiscal sense. Look what’s happening in countries that have heavy social programs. Their bubbles are bursting. We younger kids aren’t as dumb as our overprotective, hippie raised parents thought we were. We’re beginning to resent the idea that everyone has the right to equal outcomes. It simply doesn’t jive with reality. We can see people who do things that are to their own detriment and compare that to those of us who bare down and make our own way. We don’t think, “Oh, that guy who can never seem to hold down a job deserves a better living than he’s earning.” I’m not a rich person, but I’m definitely improving my situation. Along my journey I’ve met many people my age who were just as poor as I was and remain so. I know it’s not because the system is against them, it’s because they are irresponsible people. Thinking that conservatism is dead because a bunch of former hippies and their kids have been running things for a while is simply a narcisistic belief that I believe history will show to be flawed. It seems every time a rebirth of conservatism happens it’s preceded by these proclamations of it’s demise.

I’ve dealt with Ted. His posts are as braindead as he claims tea partiers to be. He’s an example of those people who are influenced by cliches and platitudes.

Maxine Waters is a corrupt Commie Pinko piece of crap. Remember when she threatened the oil company CEO’s with nationalizing the oil industry like Hugo Chavez. She’s a disgrace. Rupert Murdoch has done more good for this country than that putrid Corruptocrat ever has. He’s created vast wealth for this nation and put hundreds of thousands of people to work. But his greatest contribution was breaking the leftist monopoly on the news.

It does make sense. When the right – as exemplified by Fox and especially Beck – engages in truthiness instead of facts, which the left relies on, then the facts have a liberal bias.

I’m not saying this as well as I could, so let me rephrase: The right tells lies, from Obama’s faith to his place of birth, the right has become bat shit nuts! Truthiness on display.

Not everyone on the left, but for the most part, the left doesn’t need to engage in this twisting of reality to suit their arguments. The facts are on the side of the left most times. I joke, in a serious way, when I repeat what I believe Colbert has said, that facts have a liberal bias.

So you are saying that she is asking him to project his personal views via his network? No wonder liberals can’t stand Fox, they don’t really even know what fair and balanced or objective mean.

Don’t forget ‘double-standard’ and hypocrite….. leftwingers don’t know what they mean either.

Out of one side ot their mouths they attack Murdoch with their most poisonous venom for allegedly allowing his bias to influence FOX News and then…. out of the other side of their mouths… they encourage him to do JUST THAT.

The only variable is which side of the issue he is on. Hypocrisy defined.

I’ll expect to see that around the same time they cover the LSM’s failure to EVEN MENTION Coates testimony before the Commission on Civil Rights where he verified the selective enforcement of voter rights law that J. Christian Adams first blew the whistle on.

If the Prez. had an (R) after his name it would get as much (perhaps MORE) coverage as… say…. Bill Maher or Christine O’Donnell but… we’re in The Bizarro World so it is what it is.

Spinecrusher’s idiotic comment “no human being is illegal…” just proves that the liberals are clueless and their arguments are continually about “feelings” instead of facts. This is the kind of bleeding heart liberal rhetoric that these people keep trying to use in place of a cogent argument. Yes, Spinecrusher, a human being makes him/herself “illegal” when they cross the border of a sovereign nation and work and live here without permission and documentation. Period. Try to do the same in Mexico, or ANY country for that matter, and see just how “illegal” a human being can be!

Haimerej hits the nail on the head!! I’ve been of that thinking ever since 2001 when I went from being a liberal Democrat to conservative Republican. As a child of the 60s myself, I am amazed that the likes of Barack Obama has taken his cues from the hippie commies and is proud of that association with these radicals who never came out of that decade. But these fools are just using him. They handpicked him for their “transformation of this country” and he and they are moving us to a third world nation faster than you can say “Socialism is for the people, not the Socialists”. As the saying goes,” Eventually you run out of other people’s money”. Obama and his crowd have an OPM addiction (other people’s money) and they are about to go through detox, come November 2.
