The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper of Loyola University Chicago, has issued an editor’s note apologizing for an Instagram post calling the alleged killer of 18-year-old student Sheridan Gorman an "illegal immigrant."
"On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: ‘Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved,’" the editor’s note, posted below a Sunday article about Gorman’s murder, read.
"That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members," the editor’s note continued.
"Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an ‘illegal immigrant,’ using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security," it went on. "That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper." A Sunday press release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called the alleged killer, identified as Jose Medina-Medina, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela. Medina-Medina, who was captured by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 9, 2023, and subsequently released into the U.S. under President Joe Biden’s administration, was charged on Sunday with the shooting of Gorman after being arrested on Friday for allegedly killing Gorman, who attended Loyola University. "No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that," the editor’s note continued. "We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use," it added. "We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities."

Getting in practice for being part of the MSM and not telling the truth
“No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that,”
This maggot’s existence is not the issue. Under the law, he is a foreigner remaining in this country without permission, hence the term “illegal alien” (or illegal immigrant, but I prefer the former). Even a category of human as dumb as a college student should easily grasp that distinction.
“No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that,”

Attn Moonbat journalists—No one is saying that the alien’s existence is illegal—-what’s illegal is their PRESENCE in this country…
“Wait, what???? So he IS an illegal alien,? They’re just embarrassed that they identified him as such????”
No. The students have realized that they, though they have the leverage of paying the teachers and the school $56,000.00 in just tuition, plus much more in room and board, have no leverage
That they are beholden to the people who work for the students
They are beholden to the people they pay. Obama changed curriculum. He gave the student loan ‘industry’ to the government, he put deans in all of the Ivy League schools
Obama fundamentally changed the US
Now freedom of speech on campus is not a reality
Sick bass turds.
A bunch of college students that will lose their grants, loans and scholarships if they are not politically correct.
Wait let me get this straight they had to apologize for calling this illegal ALIEN which is the correct term, an “Immigrant” which he is NOT..he is NOT an immigrant, an immigrant comes to this country LEGALLY, doesn’t sneak across the border in the middle of the night like a damn cockroach
Oh my God. Now I’ve heard absolutely everything.
Did anyone check to see if the murder victim was offended?
Per DHS:
...a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela.
Under previous removal orders by immigration courts.....
If it is true print it, no apologies.
And screw the treasonous bas..... Who kiss their a..
If I was dumb enough to send my kid to Loyola, I would cut and transfer to somewhere else that wasn’t a lefty looney-bin. Every family should do that immediately. Rip off that bandaid, it’s better than a bullet, stabbing, rape, or assault.
Sadly, the victim likely agrees with them. You cannot hate the media enough.
Student newspspers are leftist breeding grounds. Defund them and let the students get their news from wherever everyone else gets it.
Nobody is declaring a human's existence as illegal; existence isn't the problem. The location/position of the human is the crux of the matter. For example, this murdering thug is not illegally located when in Venezuela. He is, however, illegally present in the United States and should be described as such.
Illegal alien - illegal immigrant - illegal wanderer ... it's all the same: he is illegal.
I wonder how many people their favorite murdering illegal alien killed by transferring tuberculosis to them since he brought it in from Fat Mammy Darien Gap where most Anchor Babies were conceived during a drunken night of partying on their trip to America, the Land of the Big Piñata.
I went to a Jesuit University. They HATED me because I was a girl who did better than most of the boys. I was required to “help” them. Rather a turnoff for me.
Plus, they almost declared war on wealthy people because only the poor mattered. Who did they think paid for them to turn on the lights? My dad was paying full tuition. I sat in “Social Justice (required) class flashing lights from a diamond ring I wore right into nasty professor’s eyes.
My Catholic mother insisted I go to a Cathloloc school or I would “lose my faith.” but had I not gone there, I’d probably still be Catholic.
REALLY GREAT JOURNALISM????
