From Breitbart<\/a>: Conservative columnist and eleven-time New York Times best-selling author Ann Coulter is blasting Fox News.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to immigration, Fox News is indistinguishable from George Soros,\u201d the popular columnist wrote Thursday.<\/p>\n

The \u201cRupert Murdoch enterprise,\u201d Coulter writes, \u201cis implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Breitbart News has previously reported Rupert Murdoch, Fox News\u2019 founder, is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the nation\u2019s most powerful immigration lobbying firms, the Partnership for a New American Economy. Via his lobbying firm, Murdoch endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)\u2019s Gang of Eight immigration bill, as well as Rubio\u2019s 2015 immigration expansion bill, and has expressed his support for Rubio\u2019s desire to grant citizenship\u2013 and, thereby, voting privileges and welfare access\u2013 to illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

Coulter\u2019s decision to speak out distinguishes her from the vast majority of conservative thinkers, who fear being iced-out of the so-called \u201cconservative\u201d corporate media.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou won\u2019t read about Fox News\u2019s open-borders philosophy in National Review. You won\u2019t hear about it on almost any \u2018conservative\u2019 webpages, magazines, radio shows, Twitter feeds or blogs,\u201d Coulter writes.<\/p>\n

Coulter says this is because \u201cFox News is the only game in town for conservative commentators and politicians. That\u2019s why no other candidate would dare cross Fox\u2026 Viewers beware: The only \u2018conservative\u2019 opinion allowed on Fox News involves dissolving the nation\u2019s borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coulter asserts that there is a real danger in continuing to perpetuate the charade that Fox News represents the \u201cconservative\u201d alternative: \u201cOne of the biggest problems facing the nation is that viewers think of Fox as the \u2018conservative\u2019 network. If NBC or ABC were this spiteful to Trump, everyone would see it for what it is: political bias. Your enemies can never hurt you; only your \u2018friends\u2019 can.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the \u201cconservative\u201d network to be pro-open borders is like secretly switching a diabetic\u2019s insulin with sugar. The false labeling is lethal. Millions of people watch Fox News and think they\u2019re getting the conservative antidote, when in fact the open borders corporatists have found a new way to package their open borders poison.<\/p>\n

Coulter explains the network\u2019s bias presents itself not so much in what the Fox News hosts say, but rather in what the network\u2019s hosts do not say:<\/p>\n

One of the hardest things to notice is what you\u2019re not being told. Immigration is the issue shaking up this entire election and driving Trump to the top of the polls. But at Fox News, immigration is Issue No. 22 \u2014 after Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Benghazi, Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails, ISIS, ISIS, ISIS, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Export-Import Bank, entitlements reform, ISIS and everything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cFox News\u2019s bias is more insidious,\u201d Coulter writes.<\/p>\n

The hosts avoid stridently attacking Trump. You simply never hear from any pro-Trump guests \u2014 unless they\u2019re completely ineffective. Immigration-opponents have been aggressively shut out \u2014 just as they were when Mr. Amnesty Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)36%
\n was running for president in 2008; when the Senate was debating Sen. Marco Rubio\u2019s (R-Fla.) amnesty bill in 2013; and when congressional Republicans were trying to defund President Obama\u2019s executive amnesty last year. Are you seeing the pattern?<\/p>\n

Former George W. Bush speechwriter and senior editor of The Atlantic, David Frum, recently wrote of Coulter that \u201cperhaps no single writer has had such immediate impact on presidential election since Harriet Beecher Stowe.\u201d Frum explained that in Coulter\u2019s latest book, Adios America, a tour de force on the critical issue of immigration, \u201cTrump found the message that would convulse the Republican primary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet at the height of national intrigue following Trump\u2019s announcement to abstain from the network\u2019s debate, Fox News viewers tuning into Megyn Kelly\u2019s program were presented with Michael Moore\u2019s commentary on the GOP frontrunner\u2019s decision\u2013 rather than Ann Coulter\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
