Fox News Spins Arizona Anti-Immigrant Law's Loss in 9th Circuit?

140+ Fox News Bias videos at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

When Fox News reported on the latest court to strike down large parts of Arizona's, anti-immigrant law, SB 1070, a law that promotes racial profiling and violates federal preemption of immigration policy, the supposed straight news program both mischaracterized the substance of the court's decision and unfairly smeared the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals itself, as I show in this video.

The clips I use of Fox News anchor Shannon Bream and Fox News reporter Trace Gallagher come from a longer segment of Fox News' April 11, 2011, broadcast of "America Live" also available from FoxNewsInsider on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf_SR-A87Ko

The clips I use of Fox News anchor Shannon Bream and Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs come from a longer segment of Fox News' April 11, 2011, broadcast of "America Live" also available online at http://video.foxnews.com/v/4638350/governments-broke-but-still-hiring

What is inaccurate is this. SB 1070 is not ' anti-immigration law'. SB 1070 is ' Anti- ILLegal immigration law'.

I see 2 problems with your argument:

1) The phrase "anti-illegal immigrant law" is redundant because illegality is a function of the law. Would you call laws punishing smoking "anti-illegal smoking laws?"

2) This particular law has negative effects on legal immigrants. See, eg, ssrn(.)com/abstract=1617440

I hope that helps clear up your misunderstanding and

thanks for commenting :-)

if you still watch fox news after all the lies, scandals and the hateful rhetoric they spew then you may have a partisan problem.

as an american who0 was a repub for many years i will say i used to watch fox, then the shock and awe, bill O and glenn beck really woke me up. i never in my life seen such fear mongering drama queens in my life.

i think fox has skewed the truth so much that they now have a following of people they scared into their world.

@caveman1968 just cuz u watch it doesnt mean u have to believe in what they say

Amazing! Fox news sucks balls!!

@xoxak888 funny you didnt respond to a single word on this video. instead you behave like a muslim fundamentalist and bring in your circular reasoning and raise another issue. you are a redneck and need to leave your little brain off the internet for all of us to expose.

Liberals dominate social media cuz most of them are unemployed PARSITES SUCKING off of us HARD WORKING CONSERVATIVES & have all day long to post to these sites.

@xoxak888 Anyway, "liberal" means anti-white, globalist, for Central planning Collections of all the workers' labor. The poster doesn't not believe in self-determination. So why bother. It's a Hybrid Welfare-Warfare Statist Fascist in the sense of Corporatist System underwritten by communist think-tanked theory in regard for socializaiton, (education, media, etc.). "Liberal" is a Systems Animal tool.

@caveman1968

Some people watch it without realising that viewing figures draw advertisers, so they're generating money for O'Reilly and Murdoch etc.

@expllo55 I always found that rationale to be quite awkward. On the one hand I hear people pointing the finger at certain immigrants asserting that because we're a nation of laws, these laws should be respected and therefore they should come in the right way. On the other, the legal considerations by judges is dismissed because of a desire to focus on mere results (i.e. what's good policy). Should Arizona not be burdened by following what is constitutionally lawful but immigrants should have to?
