Now that former AP and Washington Post reporter John Solomon is in charge, he’s begun the "Solomonizing." Erik Wemple of Washington City Paper reports that the new boss wants the Times to join the "mainstream" in using sensitive terminology on homosexuality and illegal immigration.

Winston Smith would understand perfectly.
Ah, the Compost, whose motto is: women and minorities hardest hit.
I favor banishing illegal aliens not banishing “illegal aliens”.
Why would "gay" be preferred? Isn't it a slang term for homosexual?
Another one bites the dust.
This wouldn't be surprising in the Washington Post. Unfortunately it is the Washington Times.
They have had good columnists over the years and I am sure that Gertz and a few others have contributed mightily to the national dialogue, and that Pruden did what he could.
But seriously, if you ever needed more of a reason to skip the WashTimes, here it is.
RINOS this is what happens when you let liberalism slip into your org! Pretty soon the “conservative” media won’t be distinguished in anyway from mainstreme radical liberals.
Foxnews, The Washington Times, National Review, TownHall (even some here on FR: The only one I can see holding the line is World Net Daily, and possibly CNSNEWS)!
Wes Pruden - have they also banished heroes?
;^)
They grabbed a nutjob from the WaPo to run the WaTimes???? W T F???? Why not just run wire stories from the NYT instead and save buttloads of money on editors and reporters??? It’s the same damn thing!!!!!!
The death of another newspaper. Apparently, even the Unification Church cannot resist the temptation to be ‘accepted’ by MSM and appointed one of the herd to run their paper.
Well, there goes the Times.
hope they planed on a loss in sales
More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says
When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.
Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%
Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Chicago wanted for Murder
Philadelphia wanted for murder
San Francisco wanted for Murder
New Orleans wanted for Murder

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals)
There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.
Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.
Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. See also here and here
