Immigration Ping
I think this is a textbook example of why the right should avoid situations where the media controls the playing field. They will change the rules as needed to deliver the message they want delivered. I think interviews in the field are better - the reporter doesn't have nearly the same chance to control the debate.
Your point is well taken. But at the same time you want to give a journalist the benifit of the doubt that they will handle things professionally.
I guess I am asking toooooo Much!
Despite years of evidence to the contrary? At some point you have to realize that the modern journalist is about presenting an agenda, not presenting the news.
Every time I turn on the TV or radio in Chicagoland the intensity of their bias grows.
If all the ILLEGAL MEXICANS VOTE Democrat,
The CONSERVATIVES are DEAD !!
To express your concern about illegal immigration, Boycott the Catholic Church by withholding your donations to the collection baskets on Sunday!
The Bishops will have an immediate Change of heart when they don't get the money that is necessary to support their way on life!
Yeah. You are exactly right. This is about new voters for the Democratic Party. The Dems have read white Christians out of the Party, so they need another victim group in large numbers.
If Bush legalizes these people, the Republicans will be out of power for twenty years.
If the corporate culture of the Tribune/LA Slimes is one of lies and fake news reporting, can anyone trust their books re circulation numbers? It is probably a safe bet that the TRB has been Enroning/cooking its books for years.
Below is the 6 month graph of major losers in the lying fishwrap game. The Tribune/TRB is leading the pack of losers in a free fall.
WGN is owned by the Tribune Company, which also publishes the pro-illegal immigration Hoy in Chicago and New York. Along with the Chicago Tribune you have in the company such rabid left-wing newspapers as the LA Times and the Baltimore Sun. It also owns the perennial second rate Chicago Cubs. To get involved in anything having to do with WGN or the Tribune Comany is a sucker's game.
Unfortunately this is the high point for conservatism, the dems play hardball, while we only have the hapless GOP in our corner (sort of).
Once illegals are allowed without impugnity, we are goners.
President Bush has turned his backs on us and failed us miserably.
Where is the CONSERVATIVE OUTRAGE??????
All Americans are not "immigrants." My family has lived here for 130 years. I did not immigrate to the US - I was born here.
When is WGN going to "dig deeper" into all of Mayor Daley's corruption rackets? How about now, Juan Carlos, to stupid idiot?
How about now, Juan Carlos, to stupid idiot?
YES!!
20? More like 50+ years unless the GOP moves radically to the left.
I want immigration reform, but many give reasons that are ill-considered and bogus. What I see around me makes me worry. I know that I really have no rights when I am surrounded by so many people who have none. We are overlooking indentured servitude, sex trafficking etc when we ignore illegal immigration.
Check out Diversity visas and see if you agree with the program that is filling my neghborshood with Bengalis, leagally.
My family has been here since 1706, I think I'm a native by now!
Please extend my condolences to Mr. Engle for his having to endure such a public flogging by illogic. Perhaps you, who are familiar with these tactics and also well spoken, can represent the next time the media sniffs around for a patsy. They'd also have a much harder time implying racism toward a woman of Latino appearance.
