Radio Factor guest host Gibson wrong on Latino ... [Media Matters]:
[...]
As guest host of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, Fox News host John Gibson falsely claimed that California's controversial Proposition 187, which sought to deny illegal immigrants access to most government services, 'couldn't have passed if Latinos or Hispanics in California hadn't voted for it.' His guest, Republican California state senator Bill Morrow agreed with Gibson's erroneous statement.
