If Mexican invaders took Schwarzenegger's advice and flipped off Español stations
in favor of English-language news, they wouldn't have nearly as good an
idea of what was happening in their invaded city, state and country.

The theme of the article is that news coverage on English channels is poorer
than that of the Español channels, because English channels devote so much
time to celebrities and other unimportant news items..

"Americans in general do not worry about protecting their "indigenous
culture" but instead eagerly create and adopt new things and then change or
modify to make them their own."
