“We were skeptical when we heard about [Fox News Latino]. Fox News is a big voice in the anti-Latino rhetoric, so we were skeptical. Some of the articles that I have seen have been interesting to me, [but] I think the owners are hypocrites. I think they are totally forgetting there is double speak here. They should be called on for their hypocrisy because they are blasting Latinos in English media and courting us in Latino media, hoping no one who is reading it is bilingual. I don’t use Fox News Latino as a source. I would not use Fox News as a source because I know their history. I would question their statistics because I know where they are coming from. They’re still Fox.”

Inez Gonzalez, executive vice president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, on Fox News Latino (via reallyfoxnews)
There’s also an interesting piece written by Mark Howard for Alternet that makes a similar point.
As I’ve said in the past, while I understand the need and market for such websites, I dislike that they often separate growing minorities from the conversations happening on the front pages. Websites such as Fox News Latino are a perfect example of the aforementioned.
