They can't help themselves. They can't even mask their contempt for brown people in their own Latino-themed site.
[F]or the record, what kind of awesome job creation did those Bush tax cuts give us? Total nonfarm employment increased from 132,469,000 in January of 2001 to 133,549,000 in January 2009. Just over one million jobs in 8 years, or 11,250 per month.

Tax cuts don't create jobs. It's really obnoxious hearing Democrats like Obama trying to make that argument.
Sources familiar with the situation in Fox's Washington bureau have expressed concern about Sammon using his position to "slant" Fox's supposedly neutral news coverage to the right.
There's no one at Fox News who doesn't know that the network is the GOP's propaganda arm. I love how they pretend that coverage is "supposed" to be neutral. No it isn't. And it never has been.
They want this bill because it will reward their wealthy constituents to be sure --- the estate tax deal alone is better than they could have dreamed. And they are happy to extend middle class tax cuts too because they want to starve the beast. They love the payroll tax cut because they knew they will probably never raise it back up, which will make the social security projections look worse than ever and give ammunition to the destroyers. And, yes, they are happy to extend unemployment insurance at Christmas time because they can pretend that they are human beings. But mostly they love this deal because it gives them their favorite issue to bludgeon the Democrats with over the next two years: "they promised to raise your taxes!" They know the Democrats won't actually do it but like an overfed cat with an injured mouse, they just like to torture them for their own (and their voters') amusement.
