Are you serious. Do you think that our neighbor's politics, our neighbor that is an integral part of our economy, is less important than a movie you can rent for $3.99. Please, consider yourselves lucky that mainstream coverage of world events is available.

I as well was disappointed to see Fox 6 handle the election results being announced. This is America - NOT Mexico! Yes, I do agree that this is both historic and important, just not to the extent of which Fox 6 has been reporting on it. If the election results were so important there should have been a dedicated time slot just for the subject (at least I could have changed channels without missing something really important happening here in the United States!)
I'll be changing the station I watch for morning news due to the pure lack of respect for America Fox 6 has demonstrated. Thanks for showing your true colors!

Well, that's what the US Broadcasting industry gets for using foreign stations to carry their programs. I suppose next it will be Arab stations, and we will have to put up with their garbage, too. So you are saying that the Mexican FCC Forced you to interrupt normal programming, regardless of what is on at the moment!
That sounds pretty far-fetched, even for the Mexican government.
Also the same week, for some unfathomable reason, you decided to dub COPS into Spanish and dump that on us without warning. I guess I should expect that from a foreign station.

To Brandy and Red: I admit, I am amazed to read your responses.

Brandy, we didn't show lack of respect for America and I am wondering if you actually read the blog because I explained in detail why we were required to do this. I think you are over-reacting...our morning show is a terrific show (I am prejudice) but if you feel you must make a "statement", that is your right, but I wish you would actually read the blog since it clearly explains what happened.

Red, you are even more frustrating to read since COPS in Spanish has nothing to do with us, it is your mistake by using the SAP channel on your TV. You are the reason it is in Spanish, not FOX6. In addition, we answered your problem in detail, three times, but you seem to ignore it. This is disappointing for a man who was such a distinguished broadcaster

I record Cops on a regular VCR which is permanently set on English.
I use the same machine DAILY to record and play back other programs. I will thoroughly investigate the machine's capabilities, though, and if, for some reason my equipment caused the Spanish language, I hereby apologize for my "Rant."
I am also sorry to report your previous explanation did not reach me, although I did get a notification of your message; but it somehow disappeared before I could read it.

Well here it is Sunday morning again, and again COPS recorded in Spanish, even though the machine is still set on "English." Can't figure out why only this one program comes out in Spanish. I use it daily to record "Judge Judy," for example; and it is always English. I will check further, and perhaps Judge Judy has no SAP channel; but everything else I tape also comes out in English.

I think it is ridiculous the comments that show on this page. Just about everyone, including Ricahrd, states that this is America and NOT Mexico. What is America? There is North America and South America. Clearly not many folks recognize that Mexico is part of North America, but Mexico IS a part of America... along with Canada, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Belize, Panama, and many other countries not listed. how can you deny the fact that CA has over 50% hispanic population, which most come from Mexico. Let's respect the fact that they are here, whether we like it or not, and allow them their freedom that the USA gives everyone, not selected. Try not to be so prejudiced and attempt being open minded. You don't want to be interrupted with Mexican politics, but USA has been inundated with Iraqi politics for the last three years, whether we like it or not. Not everything can be perfect and be your way, or else this world would be boring. Accept that there are many other peolpe in this country and world besides the white skinned "Americans" and it is extremely wrong to stereotype.

Your point is well taken, and I agree that us "white skinned Americans" do tend to think of ourselves as the 'regular people' and everybody else as foreigners.
But I do have one question that has bothered me for a long time.
When did the word "Mexican" become a pejorative term?
I remember in grammar schopol in the 1920s we were told to call them "Spanish," and later that became "Hispanic." Funny thing; most of my Mexican friends call themselves 'Mexican' and proud of it. So what is going on here?

I'm just curious, why is the weather chick's blog so lame. I'm confused as to why we have to see her every six minutes. Does management think she is popular or something? Cause it doesn't show in her blog.

Ask Puerto Ricans why the term "Mexican" is considered a pejorative term.
