Appearing at the RNC's winter meeting, Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and talk show host, lit up social media with his remarks about women's libidos and birth control.

Possible 2016 GOP presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee said in a speech Thursday that Republicans should fight harder to win women's votes. In particular, Huckabee said his party should stress that it doesnt believe women are helpless and hopeless creatures whose only desire is for government-provided birth control.

The former Arkansas governor added that many of the women he knows are intelligent and educated and capable of doing anything a man can do. Then he delivered a shot at Democrats which is lighting up social media like fireworks on July 4th.

Heres the full quote: And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it, lets take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than Democrats have made them out to be.

Many on the left took umbrage at the charge that Democrats tell women they should be dependent on big government because they cant control their urges.

It sounds offensive to me, and to women, said White House spokesman Jay Carney when asked about the remarks, which Huckabee made during a luncheon appearance at the Republican National Committees winter meeting.

Near the intersection of Pico Boulevard and La Brea Avenue is a hodgepodge of Los Angeles culture, shared by Lucy's Mexican drive-in restaurant, Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles and an Asian nail salon.

It's now also home to a media upstart with ambitions to reflect the city's ethnic diversity.

Meruelo Media sprang to life 2 1/2 years ago with the acquisition of a pioneering Los Angeles Spanish-language TV station, KWHY Channel 22. Last month, Meruelo agreed to pay $15 million to buy another L.A. fixer-upper, radio station KDAY-FM (93.5).

ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll

The acquisition has particular appeal for Alex Meruelo, principal of the parent company, Meruelo Group.

The son of Cuban immigrants started his career in the late 1970s running the tuxedo business in his parents' bridal shop on Broadway in downtown L.A., and he knew KDAY during its glory days when it was an early promoter of hip-hop music.

"I grew up listening to KDAY," said Meruelo, 51. "KDAY is part of L.A., and we think it could become a substantial radio station once again."

The station was once identified by its African American audience, but now more than half its listeners are Latino.

The rising importance of U.S. Latinos more than 50 million strong, flexing a spending power that has been estimated at $1.3 trillion a year has attracted media interest. Walt Disney Co., Comcast Corp. and Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox have launched networks in the last 18 months to appeal to young Latinos. By some estimates, 50,000 U.S. Latinos turn 18 every month.

Those media owners are looking to Los Angeles because of the city's large population of Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Those groups make up about two-thirds of the Latinos in the United States.

THURSDAY, Jan. 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Feeling a little fat after the holidays? Beware. Reading a news story that seems to devalue people who are overweight might make you more likely to reach for snacks to soothe your anxiety.

Media stories that focus on topics such as the financial impact of obesity on society or the importance of better self-control for weight loss could spur weight gain among women, a small new study of college students contends.

When women who considered themselves overweight read news articles that appeared to put down overweight people, they seemed less able to control their eating than women who didn't feel they needed to shed pounds, the study found.

The study was designed to determine if people who felt stigmatized for being overweight were likely to eat more, due to resulting anxiety or frustration, said study author Brenda Major. She is a professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

"We know that stress and feeling out of control or overwhelmed can make you less able to inhibit behaviors," Major said. "So we wondered if the same things that increase feelings of stigma actually cause you to eat more.

"People assume those who are obese are weak-willed, have no self-control or are lazy," she added.

Seeing media stories covering the so-called "obesity epidemic" and its potential impact on health care costs triggered Major's interest in doing this study, she said. "There's a frenzy about obesity in the media and there's a negative, moralistic tone to the coverage," she said.

Major's questions about the impact of stigmatization on weight gain are related to the work of other researchers. A previous study showed that when overweight women were put in a situation where they felt they would be devalued because of their weight, their blood pressure went up and a test showed they scored worse in measures of self-control.

Other research, published last July in the journal PLoS One, showed that discriminating against people because of their weight could increase the chances they become obese.
