Schwarzenegger: Turn Off Spanish TV

Apparently, when Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is himself an immigrant, proposed that Hispanics wishing to integrate faster turn off Spanish TV, there were those who found him "naive":
"I'm sitting shaking my head not believing that someone would be so naive and out of it that he would say something like that," said Alex Nogales, president and chief executive of the National Hispanic Media Coalition.

Hispanic immigrants need Spanish-language media to stay informed and "function in this society," Nogales said.
Well, I don't know, Mr. Nogales. Maybe it's just me, but when your ethnic peoples as a whole are doing themselves justice academically with Spanish TV, perhaps it's time to try something else, eh?
