Oh, dear. I just saw an ad for MundoFox

I didn't even realize there was a MundoFox. "Americano como tu" is the slogan. Translation: American like you.

Is MundoFox related to Fox News? It has to be. Imagine the duplicity. Fox News pushes the anti-immigration agenda, and reels in the right-wing conservative vote. And MundoFox reels in the latinos, who will not realize that if they fall for the propaganda, they will be led into voting against their interest.

What do we have to combat this?

that can sort through their BS. I doubt that they'll get that many people to fall for MundoFox, though; Fox's reputation and credibility are in the gutters, and they are so notorious for lying that they're even banned in Canada.

Jamaal -- Fox' credibility can definitely be questionable (!) but FYI, FoxNews was banned in Canada -- it is still carried there. What happened was their application to create an entirely new channel (Fox News Canada) was denied, but they still broadcast as FoxNews (the same one that shows in the US and in Intl markets.
