Latino Civil Rights Group Demands Fox Apology For “Unacceptable” Segment

By Solange Uwimana, Media Matters

The National Hispanic Media Coalition, a media advocacy and civil rights organization, is calling on Fox News to apologize for a derogatory segment demonizing the children of undocumented immigrants as “Children of the Corn.” In an open letter addressed to Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, NHMC president Alex Nogales called the segment “unacceptable,” writing: “It is one thing for Fox News to routinely spread hate towards Latino and immigrant adults. It is quite another to demonize innocent children.”

During the segment, several graphics bearing the image of a man appearing to vault over a border fence lined with barbed wire flashed on-screen. Text accompanying the graphic read “Children of the Corn” and “Alien Nation.”
