Leading into segment on crime in Mexico with footage of women in bikinis, FBN's Diamond states: "Trust me, this is not a segment just an excuse to show those pictures"

No, the segment is to feed Fox viewers fear of scary foreigners. The bikini shots are there because they figured even that is too intellectual for them.

Funny thing, I thought it was about her legs and breasts...

very interesting that she said that, actually. Thanks for posting it.

Fox really needs to move on to another stereotype when they do these stories. How about Mariachi bands?

If they were trying to highlight crime, they'd show archived videotape of crimes and crime scenes and victims, not archived videotape of bikini-clad girls.

If they were trying to talk about crime-ridden tourist areas, you'd think they'd have some facts to back up their allegations. Instead, this 'reporter' asked the Mexican travel bureau guy if he was maintaining that the tourist areas were safe! If she doesn't know that answer, then she shouldn't be pretending that we know the answer, and the answer is that it's scary for tourists to go to Mexico.

But what they're trying to do is scare people. The same tactics they used throughout the Bush Administration. Nothing new here. They're trying to scare people specifically about Mexico because they want to scare people about illegal immigrants!

I'm waiting for them to find clips of screaming bikini'd girls trying to cross the Rio Grande. Now that would be news.

This is like Playboy saying that they are a literary magazine, it is not an excuse to display private parts!
