FOX News’ Joshua Rhett Miller: “Mexican Pirates” are a “species”
Today on FoxNews.com, we learned what inaccurate and racist reporting is. Thanks to Joshua Rhett Miller, he provides examples of both!
While CNN has fired Rick Sanchez for making recent heated commentary about John Stewart being a “bigot”, should Fox News continue to allow the contributions of a reporter that are not only inaccurate, but racist? In a recent piece about the murder of Texas tourist David Michael Hartley in Falcon Lake (a lake popular for fishermen that sits on the US-Mexico border), Miller makes two enormous gaffes, that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Read on for two glaring examples:
Inaccurate reporting:
In quoting the Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez on the “Mexican efforts” to locate the body of murder victim David Michael Hartley, Miller quotes him out-of-context as saying:
“However, unfortunately, we have not seen very much action on behalf of Mexican authorities to reach the scene up there and try to look for a body,” he said…]”
Really Joshua? Seems like you’re 100% wrong according to the National Examiner’s Robert Garcia:
“Zapata County Sheriff Sergeant Ramiro Garcia said Monday that he has been in contact with Mexican officials since Saturday who reported that they had boats and a helicopter out over the waters near Old Guerrero but have failed to find Hartley’s body.”
If that example of misleading reporting wasn’t bad enough, get a load of this racist line from Miller:
“But now the suspected murder of a Colorado tourist, who is said to have been shot in the head as he operated a Jet Ski on international waters last week, has prompted Texas officials to renew warnings about another species that inhabits Falcon Lake — Mexican pirates.”
A nice racist touch for a reporter that doesn’t even check his sources. Send Fox News a message.

The following words were written by Joshua Rhett Miller. While knowing nothing about his rhetoric or politics, I have tried to email him about his horrible writing. He needs an editor immediately. Are these words one sentence? Is it a paragraph? Is he speaking about women “carry(ing) a concealed weapon DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE? I guess misplaced modifiers are de rigeur today. Regardless of his message, I can’t possibly follow his words. They follow:
“Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright, the county’s top law enforcement officer since 2005, suggested local women apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon during a news conference Monday about the attack on Sunday at Milliken Park in Spartanburg”.
