The fierce debate over illegal immigration on cable news channels could be the cause of a purported increase in hate crimes against Latinos, charges the radical Hispanic rights group National Council of La Raza. The group, which says it’s launching a campaign against vilification of immigrants and Hispanic Americans, wants to meet executives of the Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN and press them to stop “handing hate a microphone” on their programs, the Dallas Morning News reported. “This surge of hate is being driven by a relatively small but vocal and extreme segment of our society,” said Janet Murguia, La Raza’s president and chief executive.
