News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch engaged US lawmakers in a heated debate Thursday on immigration as he defended coverage by his Fox News networks against critics who claim it is overly conservative.

"We welcome all views on Fox News. We don't censure, we're not anti-mmigrant on Fox News," he told a House Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration.

Murdoch appeared alongside New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to call for immigration reforms but drew fire from Representative Maxine Waters for his media coverage.

"I don't see you promoting that. Why don't you use your power to help us?" the congresswoman said.
