CBS Hails Diego: Not 'Intimidated' by Immigration Law
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

How did the CBS Evening News explain away the much-smaller size of pro-immigration rallies around the country today? Fear and intimidation on the part of prospective participants. But fear of what? Physical threats or illegal reprisals? No. Of simple enforcement of US law. CBS singled out for praise one marcher who wouldn't be "intimidated."

CBS correspondent Sandra Hughes narrated the segment, which included these morsels.

There were three demonstrators in front of the Federal Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale this afternoon..two black men and a little black girl who couldn't have been more than three years old. After about 30 minutes there was only one man and the little girl. Nice turnout!

All the while, there was an FLPD cruiser with an officer inside, idling away with the A/C on...just to make sure no trouble broke out at this lame display for illegal immigrants' "rights".

In Mexico, NON Mexican people who are caught on video in a protest in the street are given 24 hours to remove themselves from the country.

So CBS is on the side of the illegals. What else is new?

I knew the national evening news would spin this. However, there are NO articles about protest marches in Madistan and Milwaukee, WI in the evening on-line editions, and the local radio station had to play the same audio clip (a translated “threat” that if things didn’t change for illegals, they’d be back!) over and over all day long because basically NOTHING happened, LOL!

I guess they learned from 2006 to keep their yaps shut.

CBS benefits mightily from the fact that virtually all Americans at all times respect other's property rights.

Now, let's say all of us quit respecting CBS' property rights ~ what will be their reaction? Will they get to broadcast it as all their equipment leaves the site of their studios in large 18 wheelers? Will anyone care ~ or, will just about everybody say "Guess that's too bad; maybe we need a comprehensive theft law revision; make all that stealin' legal or something".

Here in Houston they were demanding that “we” get out of “their” country. They believe the “Aztlan” stuff.

I watched the MSM local coverage tonight to see what kind of turn out there was in Dallas. While the mouth was moving..”reporting” about 50 protesters...the picture immediately reverted to the large crowd of protesters a couple of years ago. Subliminal coverage, I guess.

It seems that immigration is becoming even more of an issue of national security. Not only can people from any Arab country now enter the U.S. from the southern border but it seems Mexican authorities are at least indirectly complicit in Hispanic illegals staging a takeover of American sovereign territory.

I happened to drive past the rally here in Houston yesterday. The crowds on both sides were miniscule.

In fact, there were almost more police around to keep order than demonstrators.

Maybe CBS should do a story on themselves regarding "intimidation". It seems that after all the howls of protest by the invading hordes over their anchor baby story the network has obviously caved in and returned to the fold.
