FOX News Owner Rupert Murdoch: “We Need Illegal Alien Amnesty”; FOX News’ Hannity, Malkin, Etc.: Utter Silence

By Debbie Schlussel

You won’t hear Sean Vannity, Michelle Fraudkin, or Laura Ingraham elicit a peep about this because they know on which side their hypocritical bread is buttered. Since he pays one of them in the seven figures and the other two in the six figures, they’ll remain silent about their boss, Rupert Murdoch, coming out big-time in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens in his new open borders group called “Partnership for a New American Economy.” And he’s stepping up the lobbying for so-called “immigration reform, ” that nice euphemism for amnesty. And you won’t hear most other hypocritical, so-called “conservatives” say anything about this either because–ya know–they wanna be on FOX News. Oh, and did I mention that Murdoch and Bloomberg intend to employ Bloomberg’s gun-control campaign tactics?

Pimping Illegal Alien Amnesty

In a mark of utter chutzpah, today, Fraudkin’s nationally syndicated column attacks Barack Obama’s Labor Department chief, Hilda Solis, for installing a hotline phone number through which illegal aliens can report underpaid wages. But, in fact, that’s a good idea because it keeps employers from hiring illegal aliens, if they know they’ll be required to give them the same pay and benefits as Americans and will be fined for doing otherwise. That’s why I and the Center for Immigration Studies supported the Bush Administration on the too infrequent occasions when the Bushies went after employers who bilked illegal aliens. It’s a good way of discouraging them from hiring them. But Fraudkin, who won’t go after her own boss, Murdoch, for openly supporting amnesty for illegal aliens, is instead focusing her faux-anger on a move that will actually hurt employers who hire illegals. Hey, I guess I can’t fault her for being consistent in letting partisan talking points and vitriol make up for lack of intellect.

Vannity & Fraudkin Strangely Silent on Their Boss’ Illegal Alien Amnesty BS

It’s no surprise because Murdoch is no conservative. And FOX News is, by design, only a tiny hair better than MSNBC and CNN, because Murdoch knows gullible conservatives will quickly consume whatever crumbs they’re given. FOX News channel is a business, not anything of principle or ideology. And the proof is in the pudding of its hypocritical owner. He makes gazillions off of you watching his talking heads whine about amnesty and puts that money into causes like this pro-illegal alien group. Yet, gullible, mindless sheep on the right continue to watch his news channel, refusing to say, “We won’t watch your channel as long as you promote amnesty.” Hypocrites.

Chief executives of several major corporations, including Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Disney and News Corp., are joining Mayor Michael Bloomberg to form a coalition advocating for immigration reform – including a path to legal status for all undocumented immigrants now in the United States.

The group includes several other big-city mayors and calls itself the Partnership for a New American Economy. It seeks to reframe immigration reform as the solution to repairing and stimulating the economy.

Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., appeared together Thursday on Fox News to discuss the effort.
