Jorge Rivas at Colorlines shows us that Fox News, the communications arm of the Republican Party, is as good at minority outreach as the side that runs candidates for office:

Rivas notes that Fox News Latino is meant to be aimed at a Latino audience. I’m trying to imagine what a Fox News site ostensibly directed at black consumers would look like. Instead of “Black Unemployment at 16%,” Fox News Black America would write something like, “Shiftless Negroes Still Don’t Have Jobs.”
